A Remark on Ricci Flow of Left Invariant Metrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that the Ricci flow equation for left invariant metrics on Lie groups reduces to a first order ordinary differential equation for a map Q : (−a, a) → UT , where UT is the group of upper triangular matrices. We decompose the matrix Rij of Ricci tensor coordinates with respect to an orthonormal frame field Ei into a sum 1 Rij + 2 Rij + 3 Rij + 4 Rij such that, for any Ei′ = U i i′Ei with ||U i i || ∈ O(n), α Ri′j′ = U i i α RijU j j . This allows us to specify several cases when the differential equation can be simplified. As an example we consider three-dimensional unimodular Lie groups.

Einstein structures on four-dimensional nutral Lie groups
When Einstein was thinking about the theory of general relativity based on the elimination of especial relativity constraints (especially the geometric relationship of space and time), he understood the first limitation of especial relativity is ignoring changes over time. Because in especial relativity, only the curvature of the space was considered. Therefore, tensor calculations should be to...
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 کاملRicci Flow Neckpinches without Rotational Symmetry
We study “warped Berger” solutions ( S1×S3, G(t) ) of Ricci flow: generalized warped products with the metric induced on each fiber {s}×SU(2) a left-invariant Berger metric. We prove that this structure is preserved by the flow, that these solutions develop finite-time neckpinch singularities, and that they asymptotically approach round product metrics in space-time neighborhoods of their singu...
متن کاملModuli of Einstein and Non-Einstein Nilradicals
The subject of left-invariant Ricci soliton metrics on nilpotent Lie groups has enjoyed quite a bit of attention in the past several years. These metrics are intimately related to left-invariant Einstein metrics on non-unimodular solvable Lie groups. In fact, a classification of one is equivalent to a classification of the other. In this note, we focus our attention on nilpotent Lie groups and ...
