Indeed, d t is induced from the metrics g t defined by (GM). Lashi Bandara The continuity of a flow tangent to the Ricci flow 3/30
11 In fact, the fact that (GMC) can be given meaning in Wasserstein space means exactly that the flow of distance metrics d t can be defined for an RCD-space (X, d, µ) (a measure metric space with a notion of Ricci curvature bounded from below and with a Hilbertian Sobolev space).

14 Rough metrics Assume that M is a manifold (possibly noncompact). Definition (Rough metric) Let g be a (2, 0) symmetric tensor field with measurable coefficients and that for each x M, there is some chart (U, ψ) near x and a constant C 1 such that C 1 u ψ δ(y) u g(y) C u ψ δ(y), for almost-every y U and where δ is the Euclidean metric in ψ(u). Then we say that g is a rough metric, and such a chart (U, ψ) is said to satisfy the local comparability condition. Lashi Bandara The continuity of a flow tangent to the Ricci flow 5/30
15 Induced measure Define µ g for a rough metric g by writing dµ g (x) = det g(x) dl (x) inside charts satisfying the local comparability condition and then patching them together via a partition of unity. Lashi Bandara The continuity of a flow tangent to the Ricci flow 6/30
16 Induced measure Define µ g for a rough metric g by writing dµ g (x) = det g(x) dl (x) inside charts satisfying the local comparability condition and then patching them together via a partition of unity. This measure is Borel-regular and finite on compact sets. It is unknown whether they are generally Radon. However, if M is compact, then it is.

This measure is Borel-regular and finite on compact sets. It is unknown whether they are generally Radon. However, if M is compact, then it is. Moreover, L p theory exists (trivial) and on C L 2 is a closable, densely-defined operator which gives Sobolev spaces W 1,2 (M) and W 1,2 0 (M).

18 Metric perturbations Definition We say that two rough metrics g and g are C-close if C 1 u g(x) u g(x) C u g(x) for almost-every x M where C 1. Two such metrics are said to be C-close everywhere if this inequality holds for every x M. Lashi Bandara The continuity of a flow tangent to the Ricci flow 7/30
19 Metric perturbations Definition We say that two rough metrics g and g are C-close if C 1 u g(x) u g(x) C u g(x) for almost-every x M where C 1. Two such metrics are said to be C-close everywhere if this inequality holds for every x M. Note: on a compact manifold, there is always a C-close smooth metric g given a rough metric g.

20 Proposition Let g and g be two rough metrics that are C-close. Then, there exists B Γ(T M TM) such that it is symmetric, almost-everywhere positive and invertible, and g x (B(x)u, v) = g x (u, v) for almost-every x M. Furthermore, for almost-every x M, C 2 u g(x) B(x)u g(x) C 2 u g(x), and the same inequality with g and g interchanged. If g C k and g C l (with k, l 0), then the properties of B are valid for all x M and B C min{k,l} (T M TM). Lashi Bandara The continuity of a flow tangent to the Ricci flow 8/30

68 Theorem (B., McIntosh ([BMc], 2012)) Let (M, g) be a smooth, complete Riemannian manifold with Ric C and inj(m) κ > 0. Suppose that the following ellipticity condition holds: there exist κ 1, κ 2 > 0 such that Re au, u κ 1 u 2 and Re( A 11 v, v + A 10 v, v + A 01 v, v + A 00 v, v ) κ 2 v 2 W 1,2 for all u L 2 (M) and v W 1,2 (M). Let D A u = a div A 11 u a div A 10 u + aa 01 u + aa 00 u. Then, the quadratic estimates (Q) are satisfied, D( D A ) = D( ) = W 1,2 (M) with D A u u + u = u W 1,2 for all u W 1,2 (M), and D A u D B u A B u W 1,2, whenever b, B are coefficients that satisfy accretivity assumptions with η i < κ i Lashi Bandara The continuity of a flow tangent to the Ricci flow 23/30

The implicit constant depends on b, B and η i. Lashi Bandara The continuity of a flow tangent to the Ricci flow 28/30
