Noncommutative Ricci flow in a matrix geometry

Abstract

We study noncommutative Ricci flow in a finite dimensional representation of a noncommutative torus. It is shown that the flow exists and converges to the flat metric. We also consider the evolution of entropy and a definition of scalar curvature in terms of the Ricci flow.
