Ancient solutions to the Ricci flow with isotropic curvature conditions

Differential Geometry 2020-05-26 v1

Abstract

We show that every nn-dimensional, κ\kappa-noncollapsed, noncompact, complete ancient solution to the Ricci flow with uniformly PIC for n=4n=4 or n12n\ge 12 has weakly PIC2_2 and bounded curvature. Combining this with earlier results, we prove that any such solution is isometric to either a family of shrinking cylinders (or a quotient thereof) or the Bryant soliton. Also, we classify all complex 2-dimensional, κ\kappa-noncollapsed, complete ancient solutions to the K\"ahler Ricci flow with weakly PIC.
