Abstract

Let (Mn,g0)(M^n,g_0) (nn odd) be a compact Riemannian manifold with λ(g0)>0\lambda(g_0)>0, where λ(g0)\lambda(g_0) is the first eigenvalue of the operator 4Δg0+R(g0)-4\Delta_{g_0}+R(g_0), and R(g0)R(g_0) is the scalar curvature of (Mn,g0)(M^n,g_0). Assume the maximal solution g(t)g(t) to the normalized Ricci flow with initial data (Mn,g0)(M^n,g_0) satisfies R(g(t))C|R(g(t))| \leq C and MRm(g(t))n/2dμtC\int_M |Rm(g(t))|^{n/2}d\mu_t \leq C uniformly for a constant CC. Then we show that the solution sub-converges to a shrinking Ricci soliton. Moreover,when n=3n=3, the condition MRm(g(t))n/2dμtC\int_M |Rm(g(t))|^{n/2}d\mu_t \leq C can be removed.
