Given a compact three--manifold together with a Riemannian metric, we prove the short--time existence of a solution to the renormalization group flow, truncated at the second order term, under a suitable hypothesis on the sectional curvature of the initial metric.
Keywords: evolution equation, Renormalization group, Ricci flow, Riemann tensor, quasilinear PDE..
