| Oct 24, 2016 at 18:00 | comment | added | MathDG | Thank you Sylvain, so if a metric does not solve the equation, $g'(t)=Ric(t)$, does not evolve towards the metric of a sphere? As far as I know, evolve towards the metric of sphere if the curvature is positive everywhere... | |

| Oct 24, 2016 at 17:30 | comment | added | Sylvain JULIEN | As far as I know, it is supposed to evolve towards the metric of a sphere. Perhaps one could say the Ricci flow acts like some kind of 'curvature diffusion'. Warning: it's the former physicist in me who speaks... | |
