Resumo: The generalized Ricci flow equation is a geometric evolution equation which has recently emerged from investigations into mathematical physics, Hitchin’s generalized geometry program, and complex geometry. The generalized Ricci flow can regarded as a tool for constructing canonical metrics in generalized geometry and complex non-Kähler geometry, and extends the fundamental Hamilton/Perelman theory of Ricci flow. In this talk I will give an introduction to this topic, with a special emphasis on examples and geometric aspects of the theory. Based on joint work with Jeffrey Streets (UC Irvine), arXiv:2008.07004.
