Pseudolocality and completeness for nonnegative Ricci curvature limits of 3D singular Ricci flows

Abstract

Lai (2021) used singular Ricci flows, introduced by Kleiner and Lott (2017), to construct a nonnegative Ricci curvature Ricci flow g(t)g(t) emerging from an arbitrary 3D complete noncompact Riemannian manifold (M3,g0)(M^3, g_0) which has nonnegative Ricci curvature. We show g(t)g(t) is complete for positive times provided g0g_0 satisfies a volume ratio lower bound that approaches zero at spatial infinity. Our proof combines a pseudolocality result of Lai (2021) for singular flows, together with a pseudolocality result of Hochard (2016) and Simon and Topping (2022) for nonsingular flows. We also show that the construction of complete nonnegative complex sectional curvature flows by Cabezas-Rivas and Wilking (2015) can be adapted here to show g(t)g(t) is complete for positive times provided g0g_0 is a compactly supported perturbation of a nonnegative sectional curvature metric on R3\mathbb{R}^3.
