Gaussian Volume Functional, Integral Scalar Curvature, and Minimal Super-Ricci Flows
Marco Flaim, Erik Hupp, Karl-Theodor Sturm
We present a synthetic notion of scalar curvature (and its integral) for Riemannian manifolds and metric measure spaces, defined in terms of the initial slope of a Gaussian (double…
Synthetic approaches to Ricci flows
Matthias Erbar, Marco Flaim, Eric Hupp +3
We review different notions of synthetic Ricci flow that apply to time-dependent families of metric measure spaces and which are based on properties of the heat flow, ideas from op…
On a parabolic curvature lower bound generalizing Ricci flows
Marco Flaim, Erik Hupp
Optimal transport plays a major role in the study of manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below. Some results in this setting have been extended to super Ricci flows, revealing a…
Diameter estimates for surfaces in conformally flat spaces
Marco Flaim, Christian Scharrer
The aim of this paper is to give an upper bound for the intrinsic diameter of a surface with boundary immersed in a conformally flat three dimensional Riemannian manifold in terms…
