Abstract:
We prove local existence for the second order Renormalization Group flow initial value problem on closed Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ in general dimensions, for initial metrics whose sectional curvatures $K_\pi$ satisfy the condition $1+\alpha K_\pi > 0$, at all points $p \in M$ and for all planes $\pi \subset T_p M$. This extends results previously proven for two and three dimensions.References
