Lecture Notes For some topics (but not all), I'll upload hand-written lecture notes. Lec. 2, 3 & 4 - Basic Riemannian Geometry Lec - Basics of the Ricci Flow Lec - Failure of parabolicity of the Ricci Flow Lec - DeTurck's trick and short-time existence and uniqueness for the Ricci Flow Lec - Scalar maximum principles Lec - Tensor maximum principles Lec - Ricci pinching estimates Lec - Applications of pinching and gradient estimates Problem sets Problem sets will normally be posted here every Tuesday/Wednesday and discussed in the problem session the following week. They will not be collected or graded but it is highly recommended that you try to attempt all the problems. This will be beneficial to your understanding of the course material.
