Cross curvature flow on locally homogenous three-manifolds, I

Xiaodong Cao, Yilong Ni and Laurent Saloff-Coste

Vol. 236 (2008), No. 2, 263–281
Abstract

Chow and Hamilton introduced the cross curvature flows on closed three-manifolds with negative or positive sectional curvature. We study the negative cross curvature flow in the case of locally homogeneous metrics on three-manifolds. In each case, we describe the long time behavior of the solutions of the corresponding ODE system.
