In this paper we present several curvature estimates for solutions of the Ricci flow which depend on smallness of certain local integrals of the norm of the Riemann curvature tensor.

The Ricci flow is an evolution system on metrics. For a given metric as initial data, its local existence and uniqueness on compact manifolds was first established by Hamilton \cite{Ha1}. Later on, De Turck \cite{De} gave a simplified…

We show $L^1$-bounds of the Riemann curvature tensor on a smooth closed $n$-dimensional Ricci flow. To achieve this we introduce the notion of a neck of maximal symmetry, similar to the one in Cheeger-Jiang-Naber and Jiang-Naber and…

In this paper we study motion of surfaces of revolution under the mean curvature flow. For an open set of initial conditions close to cylindrical surfaces we show that the solution forms a "neck" which pinches in a finite time at a single…

The stability of a recently developed piecewise flat Ricci flow is investigated, using a linear stability analysis and numerical simulations, and a class of piecewise flat approximations of smooth manifolds is adapted to avoid an inherent…

In this article, functional inequalities for diffusion semigroups on Riemannian manifolds (possibly with boundary) are established, which are equivalent to pinched Ricci curvature, along with gradient estimates, $L^p$-inequalities and…

In our previous work [PSSW], we showed that the Ricci flow on S^2 whose initial metric has conical singularities \sum_{j=1}^k \beta_j[p_j] converges to a constant curvature metric with conic singularities (in the stable and semi-stable…

The geometric description of incompressible hydrodynamics, as geodesic motion on the infinite-dimensional group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms, enables notions of curvature in the study of fluids in order to study stability. Formulas…

In previous work we established the existence of a Ricci flow starting with a Riemann surface coupled with a nonatomic Radon measure as a conformal factor. In this paper we prove uniqueness. Combining these two works yields a canonical…

We prove that the scalar curvature of a homogeneous Ricci flow solution blows up at a forward or backward finite-time singularity.

In this second part of a series of papers on the long-time behavior of Ricci flows with surgery, we establish a bound on the evolution of the infimal area of simplicial complexes inside a 3-manifold under the Ricci flow. This estimate…

In the following work, an attempt to conciliate the Ricci flow conjecture and the Cobordism conjecture, stated as refinements of the Swampland distance conjecture and of the No global symmetries conjecture respectively, is presented. This…

As part of the general investigation of Ricci flow on complete surfaces with finite total curvature, we study this flow for surfaces with asymptotically conical (which includes as a special case asymptotically Euclidean) geometries. After…

We prove that the Ricci flow for complete metrics with bounded geometry depends continuously on initial conditions for finite time with no loss of regularity. This relies on our recent work where sectoriality for the generator of the…

We prove the uniqueness of solutions of the Ricci flow on complete noncompact manifolds with bounded curvatures using the De Turck approach. As a consequence we obtain a correct proof of the existence of solution of the Ricci harmonic flow…

We explore the harmonic-Ricci flow---that is, Ricci flow coupled with harmonic map flow---both as it arises naturally in certain principal bundle constructions related to Ricci flow and as a geometric flow in its own right. We demonstrate…

We study curvature pinching estimates of Ricci flow on complete 3- dimensional manifolds without bounded curvature assumption. We will derive some general curvature conditions which are preserved on any complete solution of 3-dim Ricci…

For all complex dimensions n>=2, we construct complete Kaehler manifolds of bounded curvature and non-negative Ricci curvature whose Kaehler--Ricci evolutions immediately acquire Ricci curvature of mixed sign.

We show for a non homogeneous boundary value problem for the Ricci flow on the disk that when the initial metric has positive curvature and the boundary is convex then the initial metric is deformed, via the normalized flow and along…

We survey several problems concerning Riemannian manifolds with positive curvature of one form or another. We describe the PIC1 notion of positive curvature and argue that it is often the sharp notion of positive curvature to consider.…
