Title: Metric Flows: Heat Kernels, F-convergence and Compactness

Abstract: In his landmark 2020 work, R. Bamler introduced metric flows which are weak synthetic analogues of smooth flows. Roughly, a metric flow consists of time-slices of metric spaces equipped with heat kernel type measures, providing a "parabolic analogue of a metric space". I will explain how the axioms of metric flows arise naturally from smooth Ricci flow, the convergence notion (“F-convergence”), and if time permits, how this yields a compactness theory for sequences of (super) Ricci flows.
