abstract

Let M be a closed oriented three-manifold, whose prime decomposition contains no aspherical factors. We show that for any initial riemannian metric on M the solution to the Ricci flow with surgery, defined in our previous paper math.DG/0303109, becomes extinct in finite time. The proof uses a version of the minimal disk argument from 1999 paper by Richard Hamilton, and a regularization of the curve shortening flow, worked out by Altschuler and Grayson.

The perturbative Ricci flow in gravity

hep-th · 2026-04-20 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

A perturbative Ricci-flow formulation in gravity yields a renormalization scheme for Newton's constant that exhibits a non-Gaussian fixed point at two-loop order.

The Calabi flow with prescribed curvature on finite graphs

math.DG · 2026-04-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The Calabi flow on finite graphs converges globally if and only if a weight function exists realizing the prescribed curvature, with convergence for constant curvature under topological conditions.

On weak formulations of (super) Ricci flows

math.DG · 2026-04-11 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Smooth compact Ricci flows are characterized weakly solely via metrics and measures by defining super Ricci flows and adding a saturation condition to recover equality.

Notes on harmonic-Ricci flow on surface

math.DG · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Establishes several evolution formulas for functionals along the harmonic-Ricci flow on surfaces with boundary.
