We consider the Ricci flow equation for invariant metrics on compact and connected homogeneous spaces whose isotropy representation decomposes into two irreducible inequivalent summands. By studying the corresponding dynamical system, we…
In this paper, the author discusses the eigenvalues and entropies under the harmonic-Ricci flow, which is the Ricci flow coupled with the harmonic map flow. We give an alternative proof of results for compact steady and expanding…
We establish a short-time existence theory for complete Ricci flows under scaling-invariant curvature bounds, starting from rotationally symmetric metrics on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ that are noncollapsed at infinity, without assuming bounded…
In this paper, we study the (normalized) Ricci flow on surfaces with conical singularities. Long time existence is proved for cone angle smaller than $2\pi$. In this case, convergence results are obtained if the Euler number is nonpositive.
We give some heuristic results for FRW situations with Ricci flow.
The Ricci flow on the 2-sphere with marked points is shown to converge in all three stable, semi-stable, and unstable cases. In the stable case, the flow was known to converge without any reparametrization, and a new proof of this fact is…
We review recent progress in applying relativistic hydrodynamics to the modeling of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC, with emphasis on anisotropic flow and flow fluctuations.
We review different notions of synthetic Ricci flow that apply to time-dependent families of metric measure spaces and which are based on properties of the heat flow, ideas from optimal transport, and the asymptotic behaviour of volumes.…
We prove the existence of Ricci flow starting from a class of metrics with unbounded curvature, which are doubly-warped products over an interval with a spherical factor pinched off at an end. These provide a forward evolution from some…
In 2011 Enders, M\"{u}ller and Topping showed that any blow up sequence of a Type I Ricci flow near a singular point converges to a non-trivial gradient Ricci soliton, leading them to conclude that for such flows all reasonable definitions…
In this paper we introduce the log entropy functional and establish its monotonicity along the Ricci flow. One consequence of it is the monotonicity of the logarithmic Sobolev constant along the Ricci flow.
Motivated by M\"uller-Haslhofer results on the dynamical stability and instability of Ricci-flat metrics under the Ricci flow, we obtain dynamical stability and instability results for pairs of Ricci-flat metrics and vanishing 3-forms under…
On a smooth closed Riemannian manifold, we show short time existence of smooth solutions to the $(\alpha,\beta)$-Ricci-Yamabe flow, which is a natural generalization of the Ricci flow and the Yamabe flow. We also establish some long time…
We present a monotonic expression for the Ricci flow, valid in all dimensions and without curvature assumptions. It is interpreted as an entropy for a certain canonical ensemble. Several geometric applications are given. In particular, (1)…
In this paper, we continue to study the generalized Ricci flow. We give a criterion on steady gradient Ricci soliton on complete and noncompact Riemannian manifolds that is Ricci-flat, and then introduce a natural flow whose stable points…
Giving explicit parametrizations of discrete constant Gaussian curvature surfaces of revolution that are defined from an integrable systems approach, we study Ricci flow for discrete surfaces, and see how discrete surfaces of revolution…
We describe the Ricci flow on two classes of compact three-dimensional manifolds: 1. Warped products with a circle fiber over a two-dimensional base. 2. Manifolds with a free local isometric U(1) x U(1) action.
In this paper we will give a simple proof of a modification of a result on pseudolocality for the Ricci flow by P.Lu without using the pseudolocality theorem 10.1 of Perelman [P1]. We also obtain an extension of a result of Hamilton on the…
We give the global picture of the normalized Ricci flow on generalized flag manifolds with two or three isotropy summands. The normalized Ricci flow for these spaces descents to a parameter depending system of two or three ordinary…
In this note we explain how a flow in the space of Riemmanian metrics (including Ricci's \cite{mt}) induces one in the space of pseudoconnections.
