Abstract

We can talk about two kinds of stability of the Ricci flow at Ricci flat metrics. One of them is a linear stability, defined with respect to Perelman's functional F. The other one is a dynamical stability and it refers to a convergence of a Ricci flow starting at any metric in a neighbourhood of a considered Ricci flat metric. We show that dynamical stability implies linear stability. We also show that a linear stability together with the integrability assumption imply dynamical stability. As a corollary we get a stability result for K3 surfaces part of which has been done in dan2002.
