I want to learn about parabolic PDE and it seems to me that there is no established reference as far as where one should look if one wants to learn the subject from basics. I think I have a firm grip on elliptic PDE after going through the first part of Gilbarg and Trudinger + some Monge-Ampere stuff. But that concludes my PDE background at this moment. Can someone provide me with a good textbook for parabolic PDE? Any chunk of information will be appreciated. EDIT: I would like to learn about parabolic PDE arising in geometry, mostly the Kahler-Ricci flow and related questions. But since I am new to this approach perhaps a more broad introduction would be appropriate.
