Description for The Ricci Flow: Techniques and Applications: Long-time Solutions and Related Topics (Mathematical Surveys and Monographs)
Hardcover. Ricci flow is a powerful technique using a heat-type equation to deform Riemannian metrics on manifolds to better metrics in the search for geometric decompositions. With the fourth part of their volume on techniques and applications of the theory, the authors of this volume discuss long-time solutions of the Ricci flow and related topics. Series: Mathematical Surveys and Monographs. Num Pages: 374 pages. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBM; PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 178. .

In dimension 3, Perelman completed Hamilton's program to prove Thurston's geometrization conjecture. In higher dimensions the Ricci flow has remarkable properties, which indicates its usefulness to understand relations between the geometry and topology of manifolds. This book discusses recent developments on gradient Ricci solitons, which model the singularities ... Read more
