Strong Uniqueness of the Ricci Flow

Abstract

In this paper, we derive some local a priori estimates for Ricci flow. This gives rise to some strong uniqueness theorems. As a corollary, let g(t)g(t) be a smooth complete solution to the Ricci flow on R3\mathbb{R}^{3}, with the canonical Euclidean metric EE as initial data, then g(t)g(t) is trivial, i.e. g(t)Eg(t)\equiv E.
