Abstract
In this note we will adapt Topping's -optimal transportation theory for Ricci flow to a more general situation, i.e. to a closed manifold evolving by , where is a symmetric tensor field of (2,0)-type on . We extend some recent results of Topping, Lott and Brendle, generalize the monotonicity of List's (and hence also of Perelman's) -entropy, and recover the monotonicity of Mller's (and hence also of Perelman's) reduced volume.
