Convergence of the Ricci flow toward a unique soliton

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We will consider a {\it τ\tau-flow}, given by the equation ddtgij=2Rij+1τgij\frac{d}{dt}g_{ij} = -2R_{ij} + \frac{1}{\tau}g_{ij} on a closed manifold MM, for all times t[0,)t\in [0,\infty). We will prove that if the curvature operator and the diameter of (M,g(t))(M,g(t)) are uniformly bounded along the flow and if one of the limit solitons is integrable, then we have a convergence of the flow toward a unique soliton, up to a diffeomorphism.
