The Long-Time Existence of the Finslerian Ricci Flow

Abstract

In this study, we demonstrate that any solution to the Finslerian Ricci flow encountering a singularity on a compact manifold is invariably associated with an unbounded hh-curvature tensor. Furthermore, we establish the extended temporal viability of the Finslerian Ricci flow under the constraint of bounded curvature. To achieve this, we derive the evolution equation for the hh-curvature tensor and establish precise estimates for the covariant derivatives of the Cartan curvature tensor.
