Abstract:
We show that for any hyperbolic metric on a closed  -manifold, there exists a neighborhood such that every solution of a normalized cross curvature flow with initial data in this neighborhood exists for all time and converges to a constant-curvature metric. We demonstrate that the same technique proves an analogous result for Ricci flow. Additionally, we prove short-time existence and uniqueness of cross curvature flow under slightly weaker regularity hypotheses than were previously known.
