The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Ricci Yang-Mills soliton equations on nilpotent Lie groups. In the 2-step nilpotent setting, we show that these equations are strictly weaker than the Ricci soliton equations. Using techniques from Geometric Invariant Theory, we develop a procedure to build many different kinds of Ricci Yang-Mills solitons. We finish this note by producing examples ...

We show the properties of the blowup limits of Kähler Ricci flow solutions on Fano surfaces if Riemannian curvature is unbounded. As an application, on every toric Fano surface, we prove that Kähler Ricci flow converges to a Kähler Ricci soliton metric if the initial metric has toric symmetry. Therefore we give a new Ricci flow proof of existence of Kähler Ricci soliton metrics on toric surfaces.

In this paper we discuss the asymptotic entropy for ancient solutions to Ricci flow. We prove a gap theorem solutions, which could be regarded as an counterpart of Yokota's work. addition, that under some assumptions on one time slice complete solution with nonnegative curvature operator, finite implies kappa-noncollapsing all scales. This provides evidence Perelman's more general assertion bou...

In this article, we thoroughly investigate the stability inequality for Ricci-flat cones. Perhaps most importantly, we prove that the Ricci-flat cone over CP 2 is stable, showing that the first stable non-flat Ricci-flat cone occurs in the smallest possible dimension. On the other hand, we prove that many other examples of Ricci-flat cones over 4-manifolds are unstable, and that Ricci-flat cone...

We call a Gromov-Hausdorff limit of complete Riemannian manifolds with a lower bound of Ricci curvature a Ricci limit space. In this paper, we prove that any Ricci limit space has integral Hausdorff dimension provided that its Hausdorff dimension is not greater than two. We also classify one-dimensional Ricci limit spaces.

Let P be a principal U(1)-bundle over a closed manifold M . On P , one can define a modified version of the Ricci flow called the Ricci Yang-Mills flow, due to these equations being a coupling of Ricci flow and the Yang-Mills heat flow. We use maximal regularity theory and ideas of Simonett concerning the asymptotic behavior of abstract quasilinear parabolic partial differential equations to st...

We show how an affine connection on a Riemannian manifold occurs naturally as cochain in the complex for Leibniz cohomology of vector fields with coefficients adjoint representation. The coboundary Levi-Civita can be expressed sum two terms, one Laplace-Beltrami operator and other Ricci curvature term. vanishing this has interpretation terms eigenfunctions Laplacian. Separately, we compute cert...

In the present work, we study the properties of biological networks by applying analogous notions of fundamental concepts in Riemannian geometry and optimal mass transport to discrete networks described by weighted graphs. Specifically, we employ possible generalizations of the notion of Ricci curvature on Riemannian manifold to discrete spaces in order to infer certain robustness properties of...

Surface Ricci flow is a powerful tool to design Riemannian metrics by user defined curvatures. Discrete surface Ricci flow has been broadly applied for surface parameterization, shape analysis, and computational topology. Conventional discrete Ricci flow has limitations. For meshes with low quality triangulations, if high conformality is required, the flow may get stuck at the local optimum of ...

the present article serves the purpose of pursuing geometrization of heat flow on volumetrically isothermal manifold by means of rf approach. in this article, we have analyzed the evolution of heat equation in a 3-dimensional smooth isothermal manifold bearing characteristics of riemannian manifold and fundamental properties of thermodynamic systems. by making use of the notions of various curva...
