Abstract
In this paper, we extend the results of \cite{fang2025strong, fang2025singular} to generalized cylinders. More precisely, we establish a Lojasiewicz inequality for the pointed -entropy in Ricci flow under the assumption that the geometry near the base point is close to a generalized cylinder , where is an Einstein manifold with obstruction of order three satisfying a suitable spectral condition. As an application, we prove the strong uniqueness of generalized cylindrical tangent flows. Furthermore, we show that the subset , consisting of points at which some tangent flow is given by or its quotient, is horizontally parabolic -rectifiable.
