Constant-curvature convergence conjecture for normalized Ricci flow on trees
Let be a tree with an initial metric , and let the metric evolve under the normalized Ricci flow. The flow converges to a metric with constant curvature if there exists a metric such that
and, writing , the curvature under is the same on every edge in . Constant-curvature convergence conjecture. For every tree with an initial metric, the normalized Ricci flow converges to a metric with constant curvature. This conjecture proposes a global asymptotic property of normalized Ricci flow on trees; the supplied source does not establish whether it is known or remains open.
