Abstract: We consider the initial value problem $u_t=Deltalogu$, $u(x,0)=u_0(x)ge0$ in $R^2$, corresponding to the Ricci flow, namely conformal evolution of the metric $u(d{x}_1^2+d{x}_2^2)$ by Ricci curvature. It is well known that the maximal (complete) solution $u$ vanishes identically after time $T=frac14piin{t}_{R^2}{u}_0$. Assuming that $u_0$ is compactly supported we describe precisely the Type II vanishing behavior of $u$ at time $T$: we show the existence of an inner region with exponentially fast vanishing profile, which is, up to proper scaling, a {em soliton cigar solution}, and the existence of an outer region of persistence of a logarithmic cusp. This is the only Type II singularity which has been shown to exist, so far, in the Ricci Flow in any dimension. It recovers rigorously formal asymptotics derived by J.R. King cite{K}.

Review text

The authors study the Cauchy problem for the logarithmic fast diffusion equation \(u_t =\Delta \log u\) in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) with \(u(x,0)=u_0(x) \geq 0\), corresponding to the evolution of the metric \(g_{ij}= u dx_i dx_j\) by the Ricci flow. Recall, that the maximal (complete) solution \(u\) vanishes identically after time \(T=\frac{1}{4\pi} \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} u_0\). For any compactly supported \(u_0\), the authors provide a precise description of the type II vanishing behavior of \(u\) at time \(T\). They show the existence of an inner region with exponentially fast vanishing profile, up to proper scaling, a soliton cigar solution, and the existence of an outer region of persistence of a logarithmic cusp.
