Ancient solutions to the Ricci flow in dimension $3$ [PDF]
It is known from work of Perelman that any finite-time singularity of the Ricci flow on a compact three-manifold is modeled on an ancient $\kappa$-solution.

A Derivation of the Ricci Flow
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 ...

Stability of the Ricci flow at Ricci-flat metrics [PDF]
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.

Hyperbolic Gradient-Bourgoignon Flow
Introduction Ricci solitons as a generalization of Einstein manifolds introduced by Hamilton in mid 1980s. In the last two decades, a lot of researchers have been done on Ricci solitons.

Ricci-Bourguignon flow on an open surface [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the normalized Ricci-Bourguignon flow with incomplete initial metric on an open surface. We show that such a flow converges exponentially to a metric with constant Gaussian curvature if the initial metric is suitable.

Collapsing Geometry with Ricci Curvature Bounded Below and Ricci Flow Smoothing [PDF]
We survey some recent developments in the study of collapsing Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below, especially the locally bounded Ricci covering geometry and the Ricci flow smoothing techniques.

A MECHANICS FOR THE RICCI FLOW
We construct the classical mechanics associated with a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a compact, n-dimensional manifold without boundary. The corresponding gradient Ricci flow equation turns out to equal the time-dependent Hamilton–Jacobi equation of the mechanics so defined.

SOME RESULTS ON ∗−RICCI FLOW [PDF]
In this paper we have introduced the notion of ∗-Ricci flow and shown that ∗-Ricci soliton which was introduced by Kaimakamis and Panagiotidou in 2014 which is a self similar soliton of the ∗-Ricci flow. We have also find the deformation of geometric curvature tensors under ∗-Ricci flow.

Gradient flow of Einstein-Maxwell theory and Reissner-Nordström black holes
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.
