Title: Conformal Geometry and Ricci flow
Abstract: We study a surprising duality between conformal geometry and Ricci flow. Using a classical construction called the Fefferman-Graham ambient space, we construct an infinite family of fully nonlinear analogs of Perelman's F and W functionals and study their monotonicity under several natural conditions.
