A convergence result of Ricci flow on \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) with warped product metric (Q2347949)

In this paper the authors present a convergence result for the Ricci flow on \(\mathbb R^3\) with warped product metric \((\mathbb R^2 \times \mathbb R^1, g_{\mathbb R^2}+e^{2\phi}d\sigma^2)\). For the compact manifolds the problem is well studied, however the convergence of the Ricci flow on non-compact manifolds is less known. Here, the authors prove the convergence to the product of the cigar with the real line under certain assumptions.
