Abstract
We consider the normalized Ricci flow ∂ t g = ρ − Rg with initial condition a complete metric g 0 on an open surface M where M is conformal to a punctured compact Riemann surface and g 0 has ends which are asymptotic to hyperbolic cusps We prove that when χM 0 and ρ 0 the flow gt converges exponentially to the unique complete metric of constant Gauss curvature ρ/2 in the conformal class
