Parabolic transformation and solution of 3D Ricci flow equations using killing vector fields
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Ricci flow equations are among the most fundamental equations in Riemannian geometry and classical field theory, playing a crucial role in modeling physical phenomena such as relativistic gravity and quantum field theory. In this paper, we transform the Ricci flow equations for three-dimensional manifolds into a parabolic form by applying appropriate coordinate changes and solve them using invariant geometric structures, particularly the Killing vector field. Additionally, we propose a method for diagonalizing metrics on three-dimensional manifolds, which simplifies the dynamical analysis of these equations. This approach extends known results on two-dimensional Ricci flow equations and, by leveraging algebraic structures related to Toda equations, provides a more precise examination of possible solutions.
