The Ricci–Bourguignon flow

Giovanni Catino, Laura Cremaschi, Zindine Djadli, Carlo Mantegazza and Lorenzo Mazzieri

Vol. 287 (2017), No. 2, 337–370
Abstract

We present some results on a family of geometric flows introduced by J. P. Bourguignon in 1981 that generalize the Ricci flow. For suitable values of the scalar parameter involved in these flows, we prove short time existence and provide curvature estimates. We also state some results on the associated solitons.
