Abstract
We extend the second part of \cite{Bre20} on the uniqueness of ancient -solutions to higher dimensions. In dimensions , an ancient -solution is a nonflat, complete, ancient solution of the Ricci flow that is uniformly PIC and weakly PIC2; has bounded curvature; and is -noncollapsed. We show that the only noncompact ancient -solutions up to isometry are a family of shrinking cylinders, a quotient thereof, or the Bryant soliton.
