Uniqueness of compact ancient solutions to the higher dimensional Ricci flow

Differential Geometry 2021-02-16 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we study the classification of κ\kappa-noncollapsed ancient solutions to n-dimensional Ricci flow on SnS^n, extending the result in [13] to higher dimensions. We prove that such a solution is either isometric to a family of shrinking round spheres, or the Type II ancient solution constructed by Perelman.
