9 Relation with other properties (Rie. Schur Lemma) For manifolds of dimension up to three, Einstein Riemannian metrics are precisely the same as constant (sectional) curvature metrics

10 Einstein Finsler metric

11 Einstein Finsler metrics Akbar-Zadeh in his paper in titled [1995] Generalized Einstein Manifolds states Einstein Finsler manifolds are critical points of scalar functional, the same as Riemannian case. However the integrand function is not the same Riemannian case.

14 Question?

15 To Answer We use Ricci flow as a tool to investigate the answer of the question.

16 What is Ricci flow? XXXI Workshop on Geometric Methods in Physics

17 Basic Question (Riemannian case) How can we distinguish the three-dimensional sphere from the other three-dimensional manifolds?

18 History (Riemannian case) At the beginning of the 20th century, Henri Poincaré was working on the foundations of topology,announced his conjecture Every simply connected compact 3-manifold )without boundary) is homeomorphic to a 3-sphere. Poincaré's conjecture became the base of Ricci flow equation.

19 History (Riemannian case) Hamilton's program and Perelman's solution Hamilton's program was started in his paper in 1982, which he introduced the Ricci flow on a manifold and showed how to use it to prove some special cases of the Poincaré conjecture.

20 History (Riemannian case) The actual solution wasn't found until Grigori Perelman (of the Steklov institute of Mathematics, Saint petersburg) published his papers using many ideas from Hamilton's work (Ricci flow equation with surjery). On August 22,2006,the ICM awarded Perelman the Fields Medal for his work on the conjecture, but Perelman refused the medal.

21 Perelman s Proof He put a Riemannian metric on the unknown simply connected closed 3-manifold. The idea is to try to improve this metric. The metric is improved using the Ricci flow equations; g t ij 2 Ric, where g is the metric and R its Ricci curvature, and one hopes that as the time t increases, the manifold becomes easier to understand. ij

22 Perelman s theorem Every closed 3-manifold which admit a metric of positive Ricci curvature also admit a metric of constant positive sectional curvature.

23 Ricci flow & heat equation Somewhat like the heat equation except nonlinear. f t g t ij Heat equation evolves a function & Ricci flow evolves a Riemannian metric. 2 f Ric ij

24 Why Normal Ricci flow equation?? Hamilton found that, sometimes the scalar curvature explodes to + at each point at the same timet and with the same speed. Then He showed that it is necessary to form a normalization that makes the volume constant.

25 What is Normal Ricci flow equation Vol( g ) dv 1 ij M g t ij 2 2 Ricij dv. n M

26 Unnormalized Ricci flow Normalized Ricci flow XXXI Workshop on Geometric Methods in Physics

27 Ricci flow in Finsler geometry XXXI Workshop on Geometric Methods in Physics

28 Chern question Does every manifold admit an Einstein Finsler metric or a Finsler metric of constant flag curvature? It is hoped that the Ricci flow in Finsler geometry eventually proves to be viable for addressing Chern's question.

29 Why is there Ricci flow equation in Finsler space? In principle, the same equation can be used in the Finsler setting, g ij Because both and have been Ric ij generalized to that broader framework, albeit gaining a y dependence in the process.

30 Un-normalized equation Bao [2007] have stated a scalar equation instead of this tensor evolution equation. He contracted the equation with, theorem is gotten l i l j and via Euler s F( t 0) log F Ric, t 0 F

31 Normalized equation

32 Normalized Equation t log F Ric C ( t ), 1 C( t) RicdVSM Avg( Ric). Vol SM SM

33 Tensor Ricci flow equation Finsler Ricci flow equation in the tensor form is the same as Riemannian case. It can be used the Akbar-Zadeh s version of Ricci tensors as Ric ( R y y ). m k l ij k ml i. y. y j

40 Einstein Finsler metrics of non-constant Ricci Scalar XXXI Workshop on Geometric Methods in Physics

41 Let - F 0 be a projrctively flat Finsler metric on M, - F t = h(t, x)f 0, where h h t, x is a positive continues function on M. Then F t is Ricci constant iff ( h h ) ;x l = 0.
