The Ricci flow

open access: yes, 2015
Ricci flow is a powerful technique using a heat-type equation to deform Riemannian metrics on manifolds to better metrics in the search for geometric decompositions.

Ricci Yang-Mills Flow

open access: yes, 2007
Let (Mn, g) be a Riemannian manifold. Say K ! E ! M is a principal K-bundle with connection A. We define a natural evolution equation for the pair (g,A) combining the Ricci flow for g and the Yang-Mills flow for A which we dub Ricci Yang-Mills flow ...

Stability of hyperbolic space under Ricci flow

open access: yes, 2010
We study the Ricci flow of initial metrics which are C^0-perturbations of the hyperbolic metric on H^n. If the perturbation is bounded in the L^2-sense, and small enough in the C^0-sense, then we show the following: In dimensions four and higher, the ...

Ricci Solitons in β-Kenmotsu Manifolds

open access: yesAnnals of the West University of Timisoara: Mathematics and Computer Science, 2018
The object of the present paper is to study Ricci soliton in β-Kenmotsu manifolds. Here it is proved that a symmetric parallel second order covariant tensor in a β-Kenmotsu manifold is a constant multiple of the metric tensor.

The conjugate linearized Ricci flow on closed 3-manifolds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We characterize the conjugate linearized Ricci flow and the associated backward heat kernel on closed three--manifolds of bounded geometry. We discuss their properties, and introduce the notion of Ricci flow conjugated constraint sets which ...

The Ricci flow on the 2-sphere

open access: yesJournal of Differential Geometry, 1991
The classical uniformization theorem, interpreted differential geomet-rically, states that any Riemannian metric on a 2-dimensional surface ispointwise conformal to a constant curvature metric. Thus one can con-sider the question of whether there is a natural evolution equation whichconformally deforms any metric on a surface to a constant curvature ...

Harmonic Spinors in the Ricci Flow

open access: yes
This paper provides a new definition of the Ricci flow on closed manifolds admitting harmonic spinors. It is shown that Perelman’s Ricci flow entropy can be expressed in terms of the energy of harmonic spinors in all dimensions, and in four dimensions ...
