Constructing Lifshitz spaces using the Ricci flow

2018 
In this work we make use of the Ricci flow equations to show that, by starting from a quite general arbitrary metric, we can construct Lifshitz spaces in which the critical exponent coincides with the spatial dimension of the spacetime. Thus Lifshitz spaces are exact solutions to the Ricci flow equations. Moreover, we found a single fixed point along the flow which coincides with Minkowski spacetime.
