P-forms and Ricci Flow with Bounded Curvature on Manifolds
In this paper, we study the evolution of L p-forms under Ricci flow with bounded curvature on a complete non-compact or a compact Riemannian manifold. We show that under curvature pinching conditions on such a manifold, the L norm of a smooth p-form is non-increasing along the Ricci flow. The L∞ norm is showed to have monotonicity property too.
متن کاملMetric measure spaces with Riemannian Ricci curvature bounded from below
In this paper we introduce a synthetic notion of Riemannian Ricci bounds from below for metric measure spaces (X, d,m) which is stable under measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence and rules out Finsler geometries. It can be given in terms of an enforcement of the Lott, Sturm and Villani geodesic convexity condition for the entropy coupled with the linearity of the heat flow. Besides stability, i...
متن کاملHeat flow and calculus on metric measure spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below - the compact case
We provide a quick overview of various calculus tools and of the main results concerning the heat flow on compact metric measure spaces, with applications to spaces with lower Ricci curvature bounds. Topics include the Hopf-Lax semigroup and the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in metric spaces, a new approach to differentiation and to the theory of Sobolev spaces over metric measure spaces, the equiva...
متن کاملRicci flow and manifolds with positive curvature
This is an expository article based on the author’s lecture delivered at the conference Lie Theory and Its Applications in March 2011, UCSD. We discuss various notions of positivity and their relations with the study of the Ricci flow, including a proof of the assertion, due to Wolfson and the author, that the Ricci flow preserves the positivity of the complex sectional curvature. We discuss th...
متن کاملOn the Structure of Spaces with Ricci Curvature Bounded below I
In this paper and in we study the structure of spaces Y which are pointed Gromov Hausdor limits of sequences f M i pi g of complete connected Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvatures have a de nite lower bound say RicMn i n In Sections and sometimes in we also assume a lower volume bound Vol B pi v In this case the sequence is said to be non collapsing If limi Vol B pi then the sequence is s...
