Curvature cones and the Ricci flow.

Thomas Richard (2012-2014)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

Similarity:

This survey reviews some facts about nonnegativity conditions on the curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold which are preserved by the action of the Ricci flow. The text focuses on two main points. First we describe the known examples of preserved curvature conditions and how they have been used to derive geometric results, in particular sphere theorems. We then describe some recent results which give restrictions on general preserved conditions. ...

A survey on Inverse mean curvature flow in ROSSes

Giuseppe Pipoli (2017)

Complex Manifolds

Similarity:

In this survey we discuss the evolution by inverse mean curvature flow of star-shaped mean convex hypersurfaces in non-compact rank one symmetric spaces. We show similarities and differences between the case considered, with particular attention to how the geometry of the ambient manifolds influences the behaviour of the evolution. Moreover we try, when possible, to give an unified approach to the results present in literature.

Computational studies of non-local anisotropic Allen-Cahn equation

Michal Beneš, Shigetoshi Yazaki, Masato Kimura (2011)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

The paper presents the results of numerical solution of the Allen-Cahn equation with a non-local term. This equation originally mentioned by Rubinstein and Sternberg in 1992 is related to the mean-curvature flow with the constraint of constant volume enclosed by the evolving curve. We study this motion approximately by the mentioned PDE, generalize the problem by including anisotropy and discuss the computational results obtained.

The evolution of the scalar curvature of a surface to a prescribed function

Paul Baird, Ali Fardoun, Rachid Regbaoui (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

We investigate the gradient flow associated to the prescribed scalar curvature problem on compact riemannian surfaces. We prove the global existence and the convergence at infinity of this flow under sufficient conditions on the prescribed function, which we suppose just continuous. In particular, this gives a uniform approach to solve the prescribed scalar curvature problem for general compact surfaces.

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...
