Immortal homogeneous Ricci flows

Differential Geometry 2018-05-09 v4

Abstract

We show that for an immortal homogeneous Ricci flow solution any sequence of parabolic blow-downs subconverges to a homogeneous expanding Ricci soliton. This is established by constructing a new Lyapunov function based on curvature estimates which come from real geometric invariant theory.
