First Eigenvalues of Geometric Operator under The Ricci-Bourguignon Flow

First Eigenvalues of Geometric Operators under the Ricci Flow

In this paper, we prove that the first eigenvalues of −∆+ cR (c ≥ 1 4 ) are nondecreasing under the Ricci flow. We also prove the monotonicity under the normalized Ricci flow for the cases c = 1/4 and r ≤ 0. 1. First eigenvalue of −∆+ cR Let M be a closed Riemannian manifold, and (M,g(t)) be a smooth solution to the Ricci flow equation ∂ ∂t gij = −2Rij on 0 ≤ t < T . In [Cao07], we prove that a...

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...

Eigenvalues and energy functionals with monotonicity formulae under Ricci flow

Abstract. In this note, we construct families of functionals of the type of F-functional and W-functional of Perelman. We prove that these new functionals are nondecreasing under the Ricci flow. As applications, we give a proof of the theorem that compact steady Ricci breathers must be Ricci-flat. Using these new functionals, we also give a new proof of Perelman’s no non-trivial expanding breat...

Mass Under the Ricci Flow

In this paper, we study the change of the ADM mass of an ALE space along the Ricci flow. Thus we first show that the ALE property is preserved under the Ricci flow. Then, we show that the mass is invariant under the flow in dimension three (similar results hold in higher dimension with more assumptions). A consequence of this result is the following. Let (M, g) be an ALE manifold of dimension n...
