چکیده
This paper studies the normalized Ricci flow on surfaces with conical singularities. It’s proved that the normalized Ricci flow has a solution for a short time for initial metrics with conical singularities. Moreover, the solution makes good geometric sense. For some simple surfaces of this kind, for example, the tear drop and the football, it’s shown that they admit Ricci soliton metric. MSC 2000 Classification: 53C21

Normalized Ricci Flow on Nonparabolic Surfaces
This paper studies normalized Ricci flow on a nonparabolic surface, whose scalar curvature is asymptotically −1 in an integral sense. By a method initiated by R. Hamilton, the flow is shown to converge to a metric of constant scalar curvature −1. A relative estimate of Green’s function is proved as a tool.
متن کاملRicci Surfaces
A Ricci surface is a Riemannian 2-manifold (M, g) whose Gaussian curvature K satisfies K∆K+g(dK, dK)+4K = 0. Every minimal surface isometrically embedded in R is a Ricci surface of non-positive curvature. At the end of the 19 century Ricci-Curbastro has proved that conversely, every point x of a Ricci surface has a neighborhood which embeds isometrically in R as a minimal surface, provided K(x)...
متن کاملOn the properties of the combinatorial Ricci flow for surfaces
We investigate the properties of the combinatorial Ricci flow for surfaces, both forward and backward – existence, uniqueness and singularities formation. We show that the positive results that exist for the smooth Ricci flow also hold for the combinatorial one and that, moreover, the same results hold for a more general, metric notion of curvature. Furthermore, using the metric curvature appro...

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 کاملUniqueness and nonuniqueness for Ricci flow on surfaces: Reverse cusp singularities
We extend the notion of what it means for a complete Ricci flow to have a given initial metric, and consider the resulting well-posedness issues that arise in the 2D case. On one hand we construct examples of nonuniqueness by showing that surfaces with cusps can evolve either by keeping the cusps or by contracting them. On the other hand, by adding a noncollapsedness assumption for the initial ...
