Smoothening cone points with Ricci flow
Smoothening cone points with Ricci flow
We consider Ricci flow on a closed surface with cone points.The main result is: given a (nonsmooth) cone metric g 0 over a closed surface there is a smooth Ricci flow g(t) defined for (0, T ], with curvature unbounded above, such that g(t) tends to g 0 as t …
