Diagonal Ricci flow conjecture for cohomogeneity one manifolds
Diagonal Ricci flow conjecture for cohomogeneity one manifolds
Let be a cohomogeneity one manifold, let be a stably Ricci-diagonal basis for it, and let be a metric on that is diagonal with respect to . Diagonal Ricci flow conjecture. The Ricci flow evolving metric is also diagonal in the basis . If true, this would show that diagonal invariant metrics remain diagonal under Ricci flow, yielding a time-independent frame that diagonalizes the metric restriction on each orbit and preserving the corresponding geodesic property for transverse curves. The claim is motivated by the necessity of stable Ricci-diagonality for avoiding off-diagonal terms to first order, but preservation at all later times is not established here.
