This is first of series papers on new two-side Gaussian bounds for the heat kernel $H(x,y,t)$ on a complete manifold $(M,g)$. In this paper, on a complete manifold $M$ with $Ric(M)\geq 0$, we obtain new two-side Gaussian bounds for the heat…

Along a Ricci flow solution on a closed manifold, we show that if Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded from below, then a scalar curvature integral bound is enough to extend flow. Moreover, this integral bound condition is optimal in some…

In this note we give a heat kernel lower bound in term of integral Ricci curvature, extending Cheeger-Yau's estimate.

In this note we prove a new \epsilon-regularity theorem for the Ricci flow. Let (M^n,g(t)) with t\in [-T,0] be a Ricci flow and H_{x} the conjugate heat kernel centered at a point (x,0) in the final time slice. Substituting H_{x} into…

We find a local solution to the Ricci flow equation under a negative lower bound for many known curvature conditions. The flow exists for a uniform amount of time, during which the curvature stays bounded below by a controllable negative…
