Energy, entropy and the Ricci flow
Joseph Samuel, Sutirtha Roy Chowdhury
The Ricci flow is a heat equation for metrics, which has recently been used to study the topology of closed three manifolds. In this paper we apply Ricci flow techniques to general…

Geometric flows and black hole entropy
Joseph Samuel, Sutirtha Roy Chowdhury
Perelman has given a gradient formulation for the Ricci flow, introducing an ``entropy function'' which increases monotonically along the flow.We pursue a thermodynamic analogy and…

Elasticity of Stiff Biopolymers
Abhijit Ghosh, Joseph Samuel, Supurna Sinha
We present a statistical mechanical study of stiff polymers, motivated by experiments on actin filaments and the considerable current interest in polymer networks. We obtain simple…
