Ricci flow: Art, Convergence theorems & Mathematical definition

In differential geometry and geometric analysis, the Ricci flow (/ˈriːtʃi/ REE-chee, Italian: ), sometimes also referred to as Hamilton's Ricci flow, is a certain partial differential equation for a Riemannian metric. It is often said to be analogous to the diffusion of heat and the heat equation, due to formal similarities in the mathematical structure…
