Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Ricci Flow and Ricci Limit Spaces [PDF]
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.

Remarks on Kähler Ricci Flow [PDF]
We study some estimates along the Kahler Ricci flow on Fano manifolds. Using these estimates, we show the convergence of Kahler Ricci flow directly if the $α$-invariant of the canonical class is greater than $\frac{n}{n+1}$. Applying these convergence theorems, we can give a flow proof of Calabi conjecture on such Fano manifolds.

RICCI LOWER BOUND FOR KÄHLER–RICCI FLOW [PDF]
We provide general discussion on the lower bound of Ricci curvature along Kähler–Ricci flows over closed manifolds. The main result is the non-existence of Ricci lower bound for flows with finite time singularities and non-collapsed global volume. As an application, we give examples showing that positivity of Ricci curvature would not be preserved by ...

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 ...

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.

The twisted Kähler–Ricci flow [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper we study a generalization of the Kähler–Ricci flow, in which the Ricci form is twisted by a closed, non-negative(1,1)$(1,1)$-form. We show that when a twisted Kähler–Einstein metric exists, then this twisted flow converges exponentially.

The Homology of Warped Product Submanifolds of Spheres and Their Applications
The aim of the current article is to formulate sufficient conditions for the Laplacian and a gradient of the warping function of a compact warped product submanifold Σβ1+β2 in a unit sphere Sd that provides trivial homology and fundamental groups.

The Cotton Tensor and the Ricci Flow [PDF]
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]
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.
