Abstract
We show that, for any , there exists a homogeneous space of dimension with metrics of if and if which evolve under the Ricci flow to metrics whose Ricci tensor is not -positive. Consequently, Ricci flow does not preserve a range of curvature conditions that interpolate between positive sectional and positive scalar curvature. This extends a theorem of B\"ohm and Wilking in the case of .
