abstract = "The F-functional provides a gradient flow formalism for the Ricci flow, discussed in Chapt. 10. We hope to be able to use this to understand the singularities of Ricci flow, but the F-functional is not yet enough to do this, because it does not behave well under the scaling transformations needed in the blow-up analysis.",
