If the perturbation is bounded in the L^2-sense, and small enough in the C^0-sense, then we show the following: In dimensions four and higher, the scaled Ricci harmonic map heat flow of such a metric converges smoothly, uniformly and exponentially fast in all C^k-norms and in the L^2-norm to the hyperbolic metric as time approaches infinity. We also prove a related result for the Ricci flow and for the two-dimensional conformal Ricci flow.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-03-10T13:28:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44", "35B35" ], "keywords": [ "hyperbolic space", "ricci harmonic map heat flow", "scaled ricci harmonic map heat", "hyperbolic metric", "two-dimensional conformal ricci flow" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1003.2107S" } } }
