The Ricci–Bourguignon flow

Abstract: In this paper we present some results on a family of geometric flows introduced by J. P. Bourguignon in [4] that generalize the Ricci flow. For suitable values of the scalar parameter involved in these flows, we prove short time existence and provide curvature estimates. We also state some results on the associated solitons.

“…Another strong motivation for our map is the fact that, although the Ricci and Yamabe flows are identical in dimension two, they are essentially different in higher dimensions. Let us remark that an interpolation flow between Ricci and Yamabe flows is considered in [7] under the name Ricci-Bourguignon flow but it depends on a single scalar, see also the pages 79-80 of the book [6].…”

“…The first one of them corresponds to self-similar solutions of Ricci flow and often arises as limits of dilations of singularities in the Ricci flow, see Hamilton [18]. A special family of the second one of them arises from the Ricci-Bourguignon flow, see Catino et al [11] or Catino and Mazzieri [12]. The third one of them is originated from the study of Einstein warped product manifolds, see Besse [4].…”

“…Although gradient Ricci solitons are a special case of quasi-Einstein metrics, they exhibit quite different properties (see [18]). We emphasize that the gradient Ricci almost soliton equation is not just a formal generalization of the Ricci soliton equation, but includes families of self-similar solutions of other geometric flows such as the Ricci-Bourguignon flow [21]. This flow is defined for a κ ∈ R by the evolution equation ∂ t g(t) = −2(ρ(t) − κτ (t) g(t)).…”
