Abstract

Crucial in the understanding of the behavior of the Ricci flow is the notion of a "Ricci soliton" -- a metric that continually reproduces itself under the Ricci flow (possibly changing scale or sliding around on the manifold). The work of Perelman has revealed a relationship between Ricci solitons and "manifolds with density". We will study classic and recent papers on these topics.
