Abstract
Geometrization is now an effective approach to studying classification problems in geometry and topology. In this general talk, I will discuss how Ricci flow can be applied to geometrization of surfaces and its generalization to higher dimensions. One well-known application in higher dimensions is to solve Thurston’s geoemtrization conjecture for 3-manifolds. The other is the Analytic Minimum Model Program which aims at classifying Kahler manifolds birationally. Some other flows will be also discussed. Some recent work will be also presented.
