Abstract
Let be a compact -dim () manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, and if we assume that has nonnegative isotropic curvature. The lower bound of the Ricci flow's existence time on is proved. This provides an alternative proof for the uniform lower bound of a family of closed Ricci flows' maximal existence times, which was firstly proved by E. Cabezas-Rivas and B. Wilking. We also get an interior curvature estimates for under assumption among others. Combining these results, we proved the short time existence of the Ricci flow on a large class of -dim open manifolds, which admit some suitable exhaustion covering and have nonnegative Ricci curvature.
