On the uniqueness of Ricci flows from Reifenberg Alexandrov spaces

Laura Bradby
(University of Warwick )
Abstract

Hamilton’s Ricci flow is a widely studied tool of geometric analysis, with a variety of applications. It is sometimes possible to obtain existence results for Ricci flows coming out of singular spaces, which leads to the question of uniqueness in these cases. In this talk, we will discuss a new result on uniqueness of Ricci flows coming out of Reifenberg Alexandrov spaces, and give some indication of the methods used in the proof.
