Abstract

By using the monotonicity of the log Sobolev functionals, we prove a no breathers theorem for noncompact harmonic Ricci flows under conditions on infimum of log Sobolev functionals and curvatures. As an application, we obtain a no breathers theorem for noncompact harmonic Ricci flows with asymptotically nonnegative Ricci curvature.
