A pseudolocality theorem for Ricci flow

Differential Geometry 2010-10-07 v3 Analysis of PDEs

Abstract

In this paper we will give a simple proof of a modification of a result on pseudolocality for the Ricci flow by P.Lu without using the pseudolocality theorem 10.1 of Perelman [P1]. We also obtain an extension of a result of Hamilton on the compactness of a sequence of complete pointed Riemannian manifolds {(Mk,gk(t),xk)}k=1\{(M_k,g_k(t),x_k)\}_{k=1}^{\infty} evolving under Ricci flow with uniform bounded sectional curvatures on [0,T][0,T] and uniform positive lower bound on the injectivity radii at xkx_k with respect to the metric gk(0)g_k(0).

Comments

11 pages, I have add one mild assumption on the theorem and completely rewrites the proof of the theorem which avoids the use of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality completely. I also obtain an extension of the compactness result of Hamilton on a sequence of complete pointed Riemannian manifolds evolving under Ricci flow
