Abstract: (arXiv)
We construct the classical mechanics associated with a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a compact, n-dimensional manifold without boundary. The corresponding gradient Ricci flow equation turns out to equal the time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the mechanics so defined.- mechanics: classical
- flow: Ricci
- Hamilton-Jacobi equation
- gravitation: action
