Let (M,g) be a riemannian manifold with a vector field X. Over the manifold R.M, I consider the metric:
gX=g+X∗⊗X∗+dt⊗X∗+X∗⊗dt+dt⊗dt
Then, the Ricci curvature decomposes following M:
Ric(gX)=RicM(gX)+˜Ric(gX)
I consider the Ricci flow:
∂g∂t=−2RicM(gX)
We can take:
∂X∂t=dr∗
With r, the scalar curvature.
Have we solutions of the Ricci flow for short time?
