We study the Ricci flow for the Lorentzian Einstein-Hilbert action. We show that Einstein gravity emerges as a fixed point of the Einstein-Ricci flow equations and derive a renormalization group flow in Euclidean signature. By considering linearizations near the fixed point, the dynamics of the metric reveal that curvature deformations flow according to a forward heat equation with the stress-energy tensor acting as a source.
