Abstract: With respect to any special boundary defining function, a conformally compact asymptotically hyperbolic metric has an asymptotic expansion near its conformal infinity. If this expansion is even to a certain order and satisfies one extra condition, then it is possible to define its renormalized volume and show that it is independent of choices that preserve this evenness structure. We prove that such expansions are preserved under normalized Ricci flow. We also study the variation of curvature functionals in this setting, and as one application, obtain the variation formula frac{{ m d}}{{ m d}t} { m RenV}�ig(M^n, g(t)�ig) = -mathop{vphantom{T}}^R ! ! ! int_{M^n} (S(g(t))+n(n-1)) { m d}V_{g(t)}, where S(g(t)) is the scalar curvature for the evolving metric g(t), and mathopvphantomTR!!!int(cdot)mdVg is Riesz renormalization. This extends our earlier work to a broader class of metrics.
