Maximum principle and convergence of fundamental solutions for the Ricci flow
Abstract
In this paper we will prove a maximum principle for the solutions of linear parabolic equation on complete non-compact manifolds with a time varying metric. We will prove the convergence of the Neumann Green function of the conjugate heat equation for the Ricci flow in to the minimal fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation as . We will prove the uniqueness of the fundamental solution under some exponential decay assumption on the fundamental solution. We will also give a detail proof of the convergence of the fundamental solutions of the conjugate heat equation for a sequence of pointed Ricci flow to the fundamental solution of the limit manifold as which was used without proof by Perelman in his proof of the pseudolocality theorem for Ricci flow.
