چکیده
We use numerical techniques to study the formation of singularities in Ricci flow. Comparing the Ricci flows corresponding to a one parameter family of initial geometries on S3 with varying amounts of S2 neck pinching, we find critical behavior at the threshold of singularity formation

Evolution of the first eigenvalue of buckling problem on Riemannian manifold under Ricci flow
Among the eigenvalue problems of the Laplacian, the biharmonic operator eigenvalue problems are interesting projects because these problems root in physics and geometric analysis. The buckling problem is one of the most important problems in physics, and many studies have been done by the researchers about the solution and the estimate of its eigenvalue. In this paper, first, we obtain the evol...

We investigate the limiting behavior of the unnormalized Kähler-Ricci flow on a Kähler manifold with a polarized initial Kähler metric. We prove that the Kähler-Ricci flow becomes extinct in finite time if and only if the manifold has positive first Chern class and the initial Kähler class is proportional to the first Chern class of the manifold. This proves a conjecture of Tian for the smooth ...
متن کاملun 2 00 6 On Kähler manifolds with positive orthogonal bisectional curvature
The famous Frankel conjecture asserts that any compact Kähler manifold with positive bisectional curvature must be biholomorphic to CP n. This conjecture was settled affirmatively in early 1980s by two groups of mathematicians independently: Siu-Yau[16] via differential geometry method and Morri [15] by algebraic method. There are many interesting papers following this celebrated work; in parti...

We study the evolution of wormhole geometries under Ricci flow using numerical methods. Depending on values of initial data parameters, wormhole throats either pinch off or evolve to a monotonically growing state. The transition between these two behaviors exhibits a from of critical phenomena reminiscent of that observed in gravitational collapse. Similar results are obtained for initial data ...
متن کاملun 2 00 4 The First Dirichlet Eigenvalue and Li ’ s Conjecture ∗
We give a new estimate on the lower bound for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue for the compact manifolds with boundary and positive Ricci curvature in terms of the diameter and the lower bound of the Ricci curvature and give an affirmative answer to the conjecture of P. Li for the Dirichlet eigenvalue.
