Abstract In this paper, we study the Ricci flow on manifolds with boundary. In the paper, we substantially improve Shen’s result [Y. Shen, On Ricci deformation of a Riemannian metric on manifold with boundary, Pacific J. Math. 173 1996, 1, 203–221] to manifolds with arbitrary initial metric. We prove short-time existence and uniqueness of the solution, in which the boundary becomes instantaneously totally geodesic for positive time. Moreover, we prove that the flow we constructed preserves natural boundary conditions. More specifically, if the initial metric has a convex boundary, then the flow preserves positive curvature operator and the PIC1, PIC2 conditions. Moreover, if the initial metric has a two-convex boundary, then the flow preserves the PIC condition.

We consider the problem of deforming a one-parameter family of hypersurfaces immersed into closed Riemannian manifolds with positive curvature operator. The hypersurface in this family satisfies mean curvature flow while the ambient metric satisfying the normalized Ricci flow. We prove that if the initial background manifold is an approximation of a spherical space form and the initial hypersurface also satisfies a suitable pinching condition, then either the hypersurfaces shrink to a round point in finite time or converge to a totally geodesic sphere as the time tends to infinity.

AbstractWe consider Ricci flow invariant cones 𝒞 in the space of curvature operators lying between the cones “nonnegative Ricci curvature” and “nonnegative curvature operator”. Assuming some mild control on the scalar curvature of the Ricci flow, we show that if a solution to the Ricci flow has its curvature operator which satisfies

Abstract We consider closed curves on the sphere moving by the L2-gradient flow of the elastic energy both with and without penalisation of the length and show short-time and long-time existence of the flow. Moreover, when the length is penalised, we prove sub-convergence to critical points.
