Volume comparison for 3-manifolds with 2-Ricci curvature lower bound and Ricci flow

In this note, we study volume comparison for 3-manifolds with 2-Ricci curvature lower bound. We establish monotonicity and rigidity for geodesic sphere area and ball volume, and derive the pointed Gromov-Hausdorff precompactness under a uniform lower bound on the conjugate radius for 3-manifolds with 2-Ricci curvature lower bound. We also discuss the almost preservation of 2-Ricci curvature lower bound and the local non-collapsing propagation along Ricci flow. Finally, we point out a topological rigidity result on nonnegative scalar curvature.

On an invariant curvature cone along 4-dimensional Ricci flow

In this paper, we study 4-dimensional complete noncompact manifolds (M,g) satisfying Rm(g) $\in\mathfrak{C}_{η,μ}$ via Ricci flow. Under the additional assumption of maximal volume growth, we prove topological and geometric gap theorems. We also study 4-dimensional complete manifolds satisfying a lower bound with respect to $\mathfrak{C}_{η,μ}$ and obtain regularity results for Gromov-Hausdorff limits of complete volume non-collapsed manifolds satisfying such curvature lower bounds.

A note on a diffeomorphism criterion via long-time Ricci flow

In this note, we give a diffeomorphism (to $\mathbb{R}^n$) criterion via long-time Ricci flow and show some applications. In particular, we provide an affirmative answer that the conclusion in [Manifolds with small curvature concentration, Ann. PDE, 2024] by Chan, Lee and the first named author and [Removing scalar curvature assumption for Ricci flow smoothing, Bull. Lond. Math. Soc., 2025] by A. Martens about manifolds with small curvature concentration can be improved to diffeomorphism in dimension $4$.

Manifolds with small curvature concentration

In this work, we construct distance like functions with integral hessian bound on manifolds with small curvature concentration and use it to construct Ricci flows on manifolds with possibly unbounded curvature. As an application, we study the geometric structure of those manifolds without bounded curvature assumption. In particular, we show that manifolds with Ricci lower bound, non-negative scalar curvature, bounded entropy, Ahlfors $n$-regular and small curvature concentration are topologically Euclidean.

Short time existence for harmonic map heat flow with time-dependent metrics

In this work, we obtain a short time existence result for harmonic map heat flow coupled with a smooth family of complete metrics in the domain manifold. Our results generalize short time existence results for harmonic map heat flow by Li-Tam [The heat equation and harmonic maps of complete manifolds, Invent. Math., 1991] and Chen-Zhu [Uniqueness of the Ricci flow on complete noncompact manifolds, J. Differential Geometry, 2006]. In particular, we prove the short time existence of harmonic map heat flow along a complete Ricci flow $g(t)$ on $M$ into a complete manifold with curvature bounded from above with a smooth initial map of uniformly bounded energy density, under the assumptions that $|\text{Rm}(g(t))|\leq a/t$ and $g(t)$ is uniformly equivalent to $g(0)$.

Instantaneously complete Chern-Ricci flow and Kähler-Einstein metrics

In this work, we obtain some existence results of Chern-Ricci Flows and the corresponding Potential Flows on complex manifolds with possibly incomplete initial data. We discuss the behaviour of the solution as $t\rightarrow 0$. These results can be viewed as generalization of an existence result by Giesen and Topping for surfaces of hyperbolic type of Ricci flow to higher dimensions in certain sense. On the other hand, we also discuss the long time behaviour of the solution and obtain some sufficient conditions for the existence of Kähler-Einstein metric on complete noncompact Hermitian manifolds, which generalizes the work of Lott-Zhang and Tosatti-Weinkove to complete noncompact Hermitian manifolds with possibly unbounded curvature.

Longtime existence of Kähler Ricci flow and holomorphic sectional curvature

In this work, we obtain a existence criteria for the longtime Kähler Ricci flow solution. Using the existence result, we generalize a result by Wu-Yau on the existence of Kähler Einstein metric to the case with possibly unbounded curvature. Moreover, the Kähler Einstein metric with negative scalar curvture must be unique up to scaling.

Kähler-Ricci flow with unbounded curvature

Let $g(t)$ be a complete solution to the Ricci flow on a noncompact manifold such that $g(0)$ is Kahler. We prove that if $|Rm(g(t))|_{g(t)}\le a/t$ for some $a>0$, then $g(t)$ is Kahler for $t>0$. We prove that there is a constant $ a(n)>0$ depending only on $n$ such that the following is true: Suppose $g(t)$ is a complete solution to the Kahler-Ricci flow on a noncompact $n$-dimensional complex manifold such that $g(0)$ has nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature and such that $|Rm(g(t))|_{g(t)}\le a(n)/t$, then $g(t)$ has nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature for $t>0$. These generalize the results by W. S. Shi. As corollaries, we prove that (i) any complete noncompact Kahler manifold with nonnegative complex sectional curvature with maximum volume growth is biholomorphic to $ C^n$; and (ii) there is $ε(n)>0$ depending only on $n$ such that if $(M^n,g_0)$ is a complete noncompact Kahler manifold of complex dimension $n$ with nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature and maximum volume growth and if $(1+ε(n))^{-1}h\le g_0\le (1+ε(n))h$ for some Riemannian metric $h$ with bounded curvature, then $M$ is biholomorphic to $C^n$.
