We define several notions of singular set for Type I Ricci flows and show that they all coincide. In order to do this, we prove that blow-ups around singular points converge to nontrivial gradient shrinking solitons, thus extending work of…

We establish a weak compactness theorem for the moduli space of closed Ricci flows with uniformly bounded entropy, each equipped with a natural spacetime distance, under pointed Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. Furthermore, we develop a…

Let ${\bf M}$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and the metrics $g=g(t)$ evolve by the Ricci flow. We prove the following result. The Sobolev imbedding by Aubin or Hebey, perturbed by a scalar curvature term and modulo sharpness of…

For any manifold $N^p$ admitting an Einstein metric with positive Einstein constant, we study the behavior of the Ricci flow on high-dimensional products $M = N^p \times S^{q+1}$ with doubly-warped product metrics. In particular, we provide…

We prove that the restricted holonomy group of a complete smooth solution to the Ricci flow of uniformly bounded curvature cannot spontaneously contract in finite time; it follows, then, from an earlier result of Hamilton that the holonomy…

We study the four dimensional Ricci flow with the help of local invariants. If $(M^4, g(t))$ is a solution to the Ricci flow and $x \in M^4$, we can associate to the point $x$ a one-parameter family of curves, which lie in the product of…

We extend some results known for the K\"ahler-Ricci flow to the Chern-Ricci flow regarding the independence of singularity types for long-time solutions. Specifically, we show that if a solution to the Chern-Ricci flow exists with uniformly…

We show $L^1$-bounds of the Riemann curvature tensor on a smooth closed $n$-dimensional Ricci flow. To achieve this we introduce the notion of a neck of maximal symmetry, similar to the one in Cheeger-Jiang-Naber and Jiang-Naber and…

We show that on smooth minimal surfaces of general type, the K\"ahler-Ricci flow starting at any initial K\"ahler metric converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a K\"ahler-Einstein orbifold surface. In particular, the diameter of the…

We show the existence of a solution to the Ricci flow with a compact length space of bounded curvature, i.e., a space that has curvature bounded above and below in the sense of Alexandrov, as its initial condition. We show that this flow…

We produce solutions to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow emerging from complete initial metrics $g_0$ which are $C^0$ Hermitian limits of K\"ahler metrics. Of particular interest is when $g_0$ is K\"ahler with unbounded curvature. We provide such…
