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…
This paper studies cohomogeneity one Ricci solitons. If the isotropy representation of the principal orbit $G/K$ consists of two inequivalent $Ad_K$-invariant irreducible summands, the existence of parameter families of non-homothetic…
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 $g(t)$ be a smooth complete solution to the Ricci flow on $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, with the canonical…
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…
A global solution of the Einstein equations is given, consisting of a perfect fluid interior and a vacuum exterior. The rigidly rotating and incompressible perfect fluid is matched along the hypersurface of vanishing pressure with the…
In this paper we give an explicit bound of $\Delta_{g(t)}u(t)$ and the local curvature estimates for the Ricci-harmonic flow under the condition that the Ricci curvature is bounded along the flow. In the second part these local curvature…
We consider maximum solution $g(t)$, $t\in [0, +\infty)$, to the normalized Ricci flow. Among other things, we prove that, if $(M, \omega) $ is a smooth compact symplectic 4-manifold such that $b_2^+(M)>1$ and let $g(t),t\in[0,\infty)$, be…
In this paper, we extend the theory of Ricci flows satisfying a Type-I scalar curvature condition at a finite-time singularity. In [Bam16], Bamler showed that a Type-I rescaling procedure will produce a singular shrinking gradient Ricci…
The main result of this paper shows that, if $g(t)$ is a complete non-singular solution of the normalized Ricci flow on a noncompact 4-manifold $M$ of finite volume, then the Euler characteristic number $\chi(M)\geq0$. Moreover,…
In this paper we present several curvature estimates and convergence results for solutions of the Ricci flow. The curvature estimates depend on smallness of certain local space-time integrals of the norm of the Riemann curvature tensor,…
A fundamental tool in the analysis of Ricci flow is a compactness result of Hamilton in the spirit of the work of Cheeger, Gromov and others. Roughly speaking it allows one to take a sequence of Ricci flows with uniformly bounded curvature…
