Geometric evolution equations (B02)

• Subject Area: Mathematics
• Term: from 2010 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 129719356

The Ricci flow is a geometric (weakly parabolic) evolution equation on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth manifold. In order to understand in higher dimensions the long-time behavior and the formation of singularities of solutions, new analytic (heat kernal) estimates and new algebraic estimates (from geometric invariant theory) will be crucial.
