Yamabe flow and ADM Mass on asymptotically flat manifolds

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of ADM mass and Einstein-Hilbert functional under the Yamabe flow. Through studying the Yamabe flow by weighted spaces, we show that ADM mass and Einstein-Hilbert functional are well-defined and monotone non-increasing under the Yamabe flow on $n$-dimensional, $n\geq 3$, asymptotically flat manifolds. In the case of dimension $n=3$ or 4, we obtain that the ADM mass is invariant under the Yamabe flow and the Yamabe flow is the gradient flow of Einstein-Hilbert functional on asymptotically flat manifolds

On the Perelman's reduced entropy and Ricci flat manifolds with maximal volume growth

In this paper, we study the Ricci flat manifolds with maximal volume growth using Perelman's reduced volume of Ricci flow. We show that if $(M^n,g)$ is an noncompact complete Ricci flat manifold with maximal volume growth satisfying $|Rm|(x)\to 0$ as $d(x)=d_g(x,p)\to \infty$, then $M^n$ has the quadratic curvature decay. Some applications to this result are also presented.

On the weighted forward reduced Entropy of Ricci flow

In this paper, we first introduce the weighted forward reduced volume of Ricci flow. The weighted forward reduced volume, which related to expanders of Ricci flow, is well-defined on noncompact manifolds and monotone non-increasing under Ricci flow. Moreover, we show that, just the same as the Perelman's reduced volume, the weighted reduced volume entropy has the value $(4π)^{\frac{n}{2}}$ if and only if the Ricci flow is the trivial flow on flat Euclidean space.

Yamabe flow and the Myers-type theorem on complete manifolds

In this paper,we prove the following Myers-type theorem: if $(M^n,g)$, $n\geq 3$, is an n-dimensional complete locally conformally flat Riemannian manifold with bounded Ricci curvature satisfying the Ricci pinching condition $Rc\geq εRg>0$, where $ε>0$ is an uniform constant, then $M^n$ must be compact.

Blow-up and global solutions to L^p norm preserving non-local flows

In this paper, we study global existence and blow up properties to $L^p$ norm preserving non-local heat flows. We first study two kinds of $L^p$ norm preserving non-local flows and prove that these flows have the global solutions. Finally, we give a example to show that one kind of this heat flow may blow up in $L^{\infty}$ norm though its $L^p$ norm is preserved.

Curvature tensor under the complete non-compact Ricci Flow

We prove that for a solution $(M^n,g(t))$, $t\in[0,T)$, where $T<\infty$, to the Ricci flow with bounded curvature on a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold with the Ricci curvature tensor uniformly bounded by some constant $C$ on $M^n\times [0,T)$, the curvature tensor stays uniformly bounded on $M^n\times [0,T)$. Some other results are also presented.

Non-local heat flows and gradient estimates on closed manifolds

In this paper, we study two kind of L^2 norm preserved non-local heat flows on closed manifolds. We first study the global existence, stability and asymptotic behavior to such non-local heat flows. Next we give the gradient estimates of positive solutions to these heat flows.
