Solitons in geometric evolution equations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We will discuss geometric properties and classification of special solutions to geometric evolution equations called solitons. Our focus will be on the Ricci flow and the Yamabe flow solitons. These are very special solutions to considered geometric evolution equations that move by diffeomorphisms and homotheties. Solitons are very important solutions to our equations because very often they arise as singularity models. Therefore classifying the solitons helps us understand and classify encountered singularities in geometric flows.
