The Cotton Tensor and the Ricci Flow [PDF]
Geometric Flows, 2017 AbstractWe compute the evolution equation of the Cotton and the Bach tensor under the Ricci flow of a Riemannian manifold, with particular attention to the three dimensional case, and we discuss some applications.

Evolution for First Eigenvalue of LT,f on an Evolving Riemannian Manifold
Mathematics, 2022 In this paper, evolution formulas for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the operator LT,f on a weighted closed Riemannian manifold along the Ricci flow as well as along the Yamabe flow are formulated.

The Chern-Ricci flow on complex surfaces [PDF]
, 2012 The Chern-Ricci flow is an evolution equation of Hermitian metrics by their Chern-Ricci form, first introduced by Gill. Building on our previous work, we investigate this flow on complex surfaces. We establish new estimates in the case of finite time non-

On the spectrum of the weighted p-Laplacian under the Ricci-harmonic flow
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2020 This paper studies the behaviour of the spectrum of the weighted p-Laplacian on a complete Riemannian manifold evolving by the Ricci-harmonic flow. Precisely, the first eigenvalue diverges in a finite time along this flow.

Ricci Flow and Ricci Limit Spaces [PDF]
, 2020 I survey some of the developments in the theory of Ricci flow and its applications from the past decade. I focus mainly on the understanding of Ricci flows that are permitted to have unbounded curvature in the sense that the curvature can blow up as we wander off to spatial infinity and/or as we decrease time to some singular time.

A Derivation of the Ricci Flow
Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics, 2021 In this work, we show that by restricting to the subgroup of time-independent coordinate transformations, then it is possible to derive the Ricci flow from the Bianchi identities. To achieve this, we first show that the field equations of the gravitational field, the Newton’s second law of classical dynamics, and the Maxwell field equations of the ...

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2012 AbstractIn this paper, we study the moduli spaces of m‐dimensional, κ‐noncollapsed Ricci flow solutions with bounded $\int |Rm|^{{m}/{2}}$ and bounded scalar curvature. We show a weak compactness theorem for such moduli spaces and apply it to study the estimates of isoperimetric constants, the Kähler‐Ricci flows, and the moduli spaces of gradient ...

Stability of the Ricci flow at Ricci-flat metrics [PDF]
Communications in Analysis and Geometry, 2002 If \(g\) is a metric whose Ricci flow \(g(t)\) converges, one may ask if the same is true for metrics \(\widetilde g\) that are small perturbations of \(g\). The authors use maximal regularity theory and center manifold analysis to study flat and Ricci-flat metrics.

Producing 3D Ricci flows with nonnegative Ricci curvature via singular Ricci flows [PDF]
Geometry & Topology, 2021 We extend the concept of singular Ricci flow by Kleiner and Lott from 3d compact manifolds to 3d complete manifolds with possibly unbounded curvature. As an application of the generalized singular Ricci flow, we show that for any 3d complete Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature, there exists a smooth Ricci flow starting from it.
