Abstract

The Ricci flow is an evolution equation in the space of Riemannian metrics.A solution for this equation is a curve on the manifold of Riemannian metrics. In this paper we introduce a metric on the manifold of Riemannian metrics such that the Ricci flow becomes a geodesic.We show that the Ricci solitons introduce a special slice on the manifold of Riemannian metrics.
