Long time behaviour of Ricci flow on open 3-manifolds

Differential Geometry 2014-05-22 v2

Abstract

We study the long time behaviour of Ricci flow with bubbling-off on a possibly noncompact 33-manifold of finite volume whose universal cover has bounded geometry. As an application, we give a Ricci flow proof of Thurston's hyperbolisation theorem for 33-manifolds with toral boundary that generalizes Perelman's proof of the hyperbolisation conjecture in the closed case.
