A Mechanics for the Ricci Flow

چکیده
We construct the classical mechanics associated with a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a compact, n–dimensional manifold without boundary. The corresponding gradient Ricci flow equation turns out to equal the time–dependent Hamilton– Jacobi equation of the mechanics so defined.

GEOMETRIZATION OF HEAT FLOW ON VOLUMETRICALLY ISOTHERMAL MANIFOLDS VIA THE RICCI FLOW
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...
متن کاملOn quasi-Einstein Finsler spaces
The notion of quasi-Einstein metric in physics is equivalent to the notion of Ricci soliton in Riemannian spaces. Quasi-Einstein metrics serve also as solution to the Ricci flow equation. Here, the Riemannian metric is replaced by a Hessian matrix derived from a Finsler structure and a quasi-Einstein Finsler metric is defined. In compact case, it is proved that the quasi-Einstein met...
متن کاملEvolution 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...
متن کاملA Note on the Quantum–mechanical Ricci Flow
We obtain Schroedinger quantum mechanics from Perelman’s functional and from the Ricci flow equations of a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a closed 2– dimensional configuration space. We explore links with the recently discussed emergent quantum mechanics.
متن کاملThe Entropy of Lagrange–Finsler Spaces and Ricci Flows
We formulate a statistical analogy of regular Lagrange mechanics and Finsler geometry derived from Grisha Perelman’s functionals and generalized for nonholonomic Ricci flows. Explicit constructions are elaborated when nonholonomically constrained flows of Riemann metrics result in Finsler like configurations, and inversely, when geometric mechanics is modelled on Riemann spaces with a preferred...
