Notes on Ricci flows with collapsing initial data (I): Distance distortion

Differential Geometry 2018-09-07 v2

Abstract

In this note, we prove a uniform distance distortion estimate for Ricci flows with uniformly bounded scalar curvature, independent of the lower bound of the initial μ\mu-entropy. Our basic principle tells that once correctly renormalized, the metric-measure quantities obey similar estimates as in the non-collapsing case; espeically, the lower bounds of the renormalized heat kernel, observed on a scale comparable to the initial diameter, matches with the lower bound of the renormalized volume ratio, giving the desired distance distortion estimate.
