Some aspects of Ricci flow on the 4-sphere

In this paper, on 4-spheres equipped with Riemannian metrics we study some integral conformal invariants, the sign and size of which under Ricci flow characterize the standard 4-sphere. We obtain a conformal gap theorem, and for Yamabe metrics of positive scalar curvature with L^2 norm of the Weyl tensor of the metric suitably small, we establish the monotonic decay of the L^p norm for certain p>2 of the reduced curvature tensor along the normalized Ricci flow, with the metric converging exponentially to the standard 4-sphere.

First Eigenvalue of p-Laplacian Along The Normalized Ricci Flow on Bianchi Classes

Consider M as a 3-homogeneous manifold. In this paper, we are going to study the behavior of the first eigenvalue of p-Laplace operator in a case of Bianchi classes along the normalized Ricci flow also we will give some upper and lower bounds for a such eigenvalue.

On the Maximal Rate of Convergence Under the Ricci Flow

We estimate from above the rate at which a solution to the normalized Ricci flow on a closed manifold may converge to a limit soliton. Our main result implies that any solution that converges modulo diffeomorphisms to a soliton faster than any fixed exponential rate must itself be self-similar.

The normalized Ricci flow and homology in Lagrangian submanifolds of generalized complex space forms

In this paper, we prove that a simply connected Lagrangian submanifold in the generalized complex space form is diffeomorphic to standard sphere [Formula: see text] and the normalized Ricci flow converges to a constant curvature metric, provided its squared norm of the second fundamental form satisfies some upper bound depending only on the squared norm of the mean curvature vector field, the constant sectional curvature, and the dimension of the Lagrangian immersion of the ambient space. Next, we conclude that stable currents do not exist and homology groups vanish in a compact real submanifold of the general complex space form, provided that the second fundamental form satisfies some extrinsic conditions. We show that our results improve some previous results.

EIGENVALUES OF GEOMETRIC OPERATORS RELATED TO THE WITTEN LAPLACIAN UNDER THE RICCI FLOW

Let (M, g(t)) be a compact Riemannian manifold and the metric g(t) evolve by the Ricci flow. In the paper, we prove that the eigenvalues of geometric operator −Δφ + $\frac{R}{2}$ are non-decreasing under the Ricci flow for manifold M with some curvature conditions, where Δφ is the Witten Laplacian operator, φ ∈ C2(M), and R is the scalar curvature with respect to the metric g(t). We also derive the evolution of eigenvalues under the normalized Ricci flow. As a consequence, we show that compact steady Ricci breather with these curvature conditions must be trivial.
