Mass Under the Ricci Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 = 3. If m(g) = 0, then the Ricci flow starting at g can not have Euclidean space as its (uniform) limit.

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...
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 کاملVisualizing Ricci Flow of Manifolds of Revolution
We present numerical visualizations of Ricci Flow of surfaces and 3-dimensional manifolds of revolution. Ricci rot is an educational tool which visualizes surfaces of revolution moving under Ricci flow. That these surfaces tend to remain embedded in R3 is what makes direct visualization possible. The numerical lessons gained in developing this tool may be applicable to numerical simulation of R...
متن کاملNumerical Study of the Mass Transfer Effects on the Flow and Thermal Fields Structures under the Influence of Natural Convection
In this paper, a numerical study has been carried out for coupled mass, momentum and heat transfer in the field under effects of natural convection. For this purpose, the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with the terms of the Buoyancy forces (due to temperature gradients), energy conservation and concentration (mass) transfer equations have been simultaneously solved using approp...
