Rosenau solutions or Rosenau Metrics in Ricci flow

24 Views Asked by At

In the book “Hamilton Ricci flow" written by Bennet Chow, Peng Lu and Lei Ni. The Rosenau solution is $$g = u \cdot h = \frac{\sinh(-t)}{cosh(x) + cosh(t)} (dx^2 + d \theta^2), x \in \mathbb{R}, \theta \in \mathbb{S^{1}(2)}.$$ But in another book “The Ricci flow in Riemannian Geometry” written by Hopper and Andrews, the metric is defined by $$g_{\alpha} = \frac{1}{1 - \alpha^2 x^2} \bar{g},$$where $\bar{g}$ is the standard metric on $\mathbb{S^{2}}$ and $\alpha = \alpha(k)$. and there is a note:"Up to a rescaling by a factor depending on $k$, these are exactly the metrics arising in an important explicit solution of the Ricci flow on $\mathbb{S^{2}}$" known as the Rosenau solution. But I don't understand how I can get a Rosenau solution from $g_{\alpha}$? Is there any references or some points I ignored?
