Perelman proved the conjecture by deforming the manifold using the Ricci flow (which behaves similarly to the heat equation that describes the diffusion of heat through an object).

The monotonicity of the Ricci flow for the string sigma-model in dilaton gravity background was established in.

On 11 November 2002, Perelman put his paper The Entropy Formula for the Ricci Flow and Its Geometric Applications on the web.

arXiv: math.DG/0211159. Much was achieved, but Hamilton reached an impasse when he could not show that the manifold would not snap into pieces under the flow. Based on it, we shall give the first written account of a complete proof of the Poincar´e conjecture and the geometrization conjecture of Thurston.

Background on Ricci flow and geometrization5. We present a monotonic expression for the Ricci flow, valid in all dimensions and without curvature assumptions. Heuristically speaking, at every point of the manifold the Ricci flow shrinks directions of positive curvature and expands directions of negative curvature, while simultaneously smoothing out irregularities in the metric. In this paper, we shall present the Hamilton-Perelman theory of Ricci flow. Background on the geometrization conjecture4. "Ricci flow with surgery on three-manifolds". Perelman.

It is a process that deforms the metric of a Riemannian manifold in a way formally analogous to the diffusionof heat. arXiv: math.DG/0303109. Several geometric applications are given. According to Perelman, a modification of the standard Ricci flow, called Ricci flow with surgery, can systematically excise singular regions as they develop, in a controlled way. In these two remarkable preprints, which were posted on the arXiv in 2002 and 2003, Grisha Perelman announced a proof of the Poincar´e Conjecture, and more generally Perelman, the Ricci Flow and the Poincare Conjecture´ The Ricci Flow – Richard Hamilton The Ricci Flow At the end of 70’s – beginning of 80’s, the study of Ricci and Einstein tensors from an analytic point of view gets a strong interest, for instance, in the (static) works of Dennis DeTurck.

Perelman’s decisive contribution was to show that the Ricci flow did what was… It was known that singularities (including those that, roughly speaking, occur after the flow has continued for an infinite amount of time) must occur in many cases. It is interpreted as an entropy for a certain canonical ensemble. There are now several different manuscripts (see below) with details of the proof.
