Shi-type estimates of the Ricci flow based on Ricci curvature

Differential Geometry 2018-01-26 v3

Abstract

We construct a uniform local bound of curvature operator from local bounds of Ricci curvature and injectivity radius among all nn-dimensional Ricci flows. Thus new compactness theorems for the Ricci flow and Ricci solitons are derived. In particular, we show that every Ricci flow with RicK|Ric|\leq K must satisfy RmCt1|Rm|\leq Ct^{-1} for all t(0,T]t\in (0,T], where CC depends only on the dimension nn and TT depends on KK and the injectivity radius injg(t)inj_{g(t)}. In the second part of this paper, we discuss the behavior of Ricci curvature and its derivative when the injectivity radius is thoroughly unknown. In particular, another Shi-type estimate for Ricci curvature is derived when the derivative of Ricci curvature is controlled by the derivative of scalar curvature.
