Abstract

Let M be a compact n-dimensional manifold, n2n\ge 2, with metric g(t) evolving by the Ricci flow gij/t=2Rij\partial g_{ij}/\partial t=-2R_{ij} in (0,T) for some TR+{}T\in\Bbb{R}^+\cup\{\infty\} with g(0)=g0g(0)=g_0. Let λ0(g0)\lambda_0(g_0) be the first eigenvalue of the operator Δg0+R(g0)4-\Delta_{g_0} +\frac{R(g_0)}{4} with respect to g_0. We extend a recent result of R. Ye and prove uniform logarithmic Sobolev inequality and uniform Sobolev inequalities along the Ricci flow for any n2n\ge 2 when either T<T<\infty or λ0(g0)>0\lambda_0(g_0)>0. As a consequence we extend Perelman's local κ\kappa-noncollapsing result along the Ricci flow for any n2n\ge 2 in terms of upper bound for the scalar curvature when either T<T<\infty or λ0(g0)>0\lambda_0(g_0)>0.
