The volume entropy of a surface decreases along the Ricci flow [PDF]
, 2004 The volume entropy, h(g), of a compact Riemannian manifold (M,g) measures the growth rate of the volume of a ball of radius R in its universal cover.

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.

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.

The Soliton-Ricci Flow with variable volume forms
Complex Manifolds, 2016 We introduce a flow of Riemannian metrics and positive volume forms over compact oriented manifolds whose formal limit is a shrinking Ricci soliton. The case of a fixed volume form has been considered in our previouswork.We still call this new flow, the ...

Gradient flow of Einstein-Maxwell theory and Reissner-Nordström black holes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Ricci flow is a natural gradient flow of the Einstein-Hilbert action. Here we consider the analog for the Einstein-Maxwell action, which gives Ricci flow with a stress tensor contribution coupled to a Yang-Mills flow for the Maxwell field.

Metric Perspectives of the Ricci Flow Appliedto Disjoint Unions
Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces, 2014 In this paper we consider compact, Riemannian manifolds M1, M2 each equipped with a oneparameterfamily of metrics g1(t), g2(t) satisfying the Ricci flow equation.

Bounded Ricci curvature and positive scalar curvature under Ricci flow
, 2023 We consider a Ricci de Turck flow of spaces with isolated conical singularities, which preserves the conical structure along the flow. We establish that a given initial regularity of Ricci curvature is preserved along the flow.

Cobordism, singularities and the Ricci flow conjecture
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 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.

On the stability of harmonic maps under the homogeneous Ricci flow
Complex Manifolds, 2018 In this work we study properties of stability and non-stability of harmonic maps under the homogeneous Ricci flow.We provide examples where the stability (non-stability) is preserved under the Ricci flow and an example where the Ricci flow does not ...
