A note on Ricci flow from small curvature concentration and a Morrey-type condition
Abstract
In \cite{ChauMartens} the authors proved the long-time existence of Ricci flow starting from complete bounded curvature Riemannian manifolds with scale-invariant integral curvature bounded by a dimensional constant times the inverse of the Sobolev constant. We generalize this result by replacing the bounded curvature assumption with the assumption that is only equivalent to a complete bounded curvature metric while satisfying a Morrey-type condition on the gradient of relative to : a local integral condition on the covariant derivative . The Morrey-type condition was first considered in \cite{LeeLiu} in the context of Ricci flow on non-compact manifolds, and in particular allows the possibility for to have unbounded curvature on . As in \cite{ChauMartens}, our long-time solution enjoys curvature decay estimates implying in particular that is diffeomorphic to .
