How to produce a Ricci flow via Cheeger–Gromoll exhaustion

Esther Cabezas-Rivas, Burkhard Wilking (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove short time existence for the Ricci flow on open manifolds of non-negative complex sectional curvature without requiring upper curvature bounds. By considering the doubling of convex sets contained in a Cheeger–Gromoll convex exhaustion and solving the singular initial value problem for the Ricci flow on these closed manifolds, we obtain a sequence of closed solutions of the Ricci flow with non-negative complex sectional curvature which subconverge to a Ricci flow on the open...

On isotropic Berwald metrics

Akbar Tayebi, Behzad Najafi (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We prove that every isotropic Berwald metric of scalar flag curvature is a Randers metric. We study the relation between an isotropic Berwald metric and a Randers metric which are pointwise projectively related. We show that on constant isotropic Berwald manifolds the notions of R-quadratic and stretch metrics are equivalent. Then we prove that every complete generalized Landsberg manifold with isotropic Berwald curvature reduces to a Berwald manifold. Finally, we study C-conformal changes...

Ricci flow compactness via pseudolocality, and flows with incomplete initial metrics

Peter Topping (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

By exploiting Perelman’s pseudolocality theorem, we prove a new compactness theorem for Ricci flows. By optimising the theory in the two-dimensional case, and invoking the theory of quasiconformal maps, we establish a new existence theorem which generates a Ricci flow starting at an arbitrary incomplete metric, with Gauss curvature bounded above, on an arbitrary surface. The criterion we assert for well-posedness is that the flow should be complete for all positive times; our discussion...

Geometrization of three manifolds and Perelman's proof.

Joan Porti (2008)

RACSAM

Similarity:

This is a survey about Thurston’s geometrization conjecture of three manifolds and Perelman’s proof with the Ricci flow. In particular we review the essential contribution of Hamilton as well as some results in topology relevants for the proof.

Generalized P-reducible (α,β)-metrics with vanishing S-curvature

A. Tayebi, H. Sadeghi (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study one of the open problems in Finsler geometry presented by Matsumoto-Shimada in 1977, about the existence of a concrete P-reducible metric, i.e. one which is not C-reducible. In order to do this, we study a class of Finsler metrics, called generalized P-reducible metrics, which contains the class of P-reducible metrics. We prove that every generalized P-reducible (α,β)-metric with vanishing S-curvature reduces to a Berwald metric or a C-reducible metric. It follows that there...
