AbstractThis paper considers the Ricci flow coupled with the harmonic map flow between two manifolds. We derive estimates for the fundamental solution of the corresponding conjugate heat equation and we prove an analogue of Perelman's differential Harnack inequality. As an application, we find a connection between the entropy functional and the best constant in the Sobolev embedding theorem in ℝn.

AbstractThe paper establishes a series of gradient estimates for positive solutions to the heat equation on a manifold M evolving under the Ricci flow, coupled with the harmonic map flow between M and a second manifold N. We prove Li-Yau type Harnack inequalities and we consider the cases when M is a complete manifold without boundary and when M is compact without boundary.

Abstract We explore the harmonic-Ricci flow - that is, Ricci flow coupled with harmonic map flow - both as it arises naturally in certain principal bundle constructions related to Ricci flow and as a geometric flow in its own right. We demonstrate that one natural geometric context for the flow is a special case of the locally ℝ

In this paper, we provide some integral conditions to extend the Ricci flow coupled with harmonic map flow. Our results generalize the corresponding results for Ricci flow obtained by Wang [On the conditions to extend Ricci flow, Int. Math. Res. Not. 8 (2008), Articles: rnn012, 30 pp].

AbstractThe harmonic map energy of a map from a closed, constant-curvature surface to a closed target manifold can be seen as a functional on the space of maps and domain metrics. We consider the gradient flow for this energy. In the absence of singularities, previous theory established that the flow converges to a branched minimal immersion, but only at a sequence of times converging to infinity, and only after pulling back by a sequence of diffeomorphisms. In this paper, we investigate whether it is necessary to pull back by these diffeomorphisms, and whether the convergence is uniform as {t\to\infty}.
