The second del Pezzo surface is known by work of Tian-Zhu and Wang-Zhu to admit a unique Kaehler-Ricci soliton. Applying a method described in hep-th/0703057, we use Ricci flow to numerically compute that soliton metric. We numerically compute the value of its Perelman entropy (or Gaussian density).

Ricci solitons are natural generalizations of Einstein metrics. They are also special solutions to Hamilton's Ricci flow and play important roles in the singularity study of the Ricci flow. In this

A small eigenvalue of the scalar Laplacian of the Albert Einstein metric gives numerical evidence that the Einstein metric is conformally unstable under Ricci flow.
As seen in the works of Calabi, Cheng-Yau and Loftin, affine sphere equations have a close relationship with Kaehler-Einstein metrics. The main purpose of this note is to show that an equation
