I've already posted this as a question on MathOverflow, but it appears that everyone working on the Ricci flow, as well as other geometric heat flows, takes it for granted the existence in short time of a solution to a nonlinear parabolic PDE on a vector bundle over a complete Riemannian manifold. I have not been able to find a complete proof for even a linear parabolic PDE.
