About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book is dedicated almost entirely to the analysis of the Ricci flow, viewed first as a heat type equation hence its consequences, and later from the more recent developments due to Perelman’s monotonicity formulas and the blow-up analysis of the flow which was made thus possible. … is very enjoyable for specialists and non-specialists (of curvature flows) alike.” (Alina Stancu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1214, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
