In this paper, we first derive a pinching estimate on the traceless Ricci curvature in term of scalar curvature and Weyl tensor under the Ricci flow. Then we apply this estimate to study finite-time singularity behavior. We show that if the…
We prove pinching estimates for solutions of the linearized Ricci flow system on a closed manifold of dimension $n\geq 4$ with positive scalar curvature and vanishing Weyl tensor. If the vanishing Weyl tensor condition is removed, we only…
In this paper we give local curvature estimates for the Laplacian flow on closed G_2-structures under the condition that the Ricci curvature is bounded along the flow. The main ingredient consists of the idea of Kotschwar-Munteanu-Wang who…
We show that the norm of the Riemann curvature tensor of any smooth solution to the Ricci flow can be explicitly estimated in terms of its initial values on a given ball, a local uniform bound on the Ricci tensor, and the elapsed time. This…

In this paper we prove localised weighted curvature integral estimates for solutions to the Ricci flow in the setting of a smooth four dimensional Ricci flow or a closed $n$-dimensional K\"ahler Ricci flow. These integral estimates improve…
We develop a refined singularity analysis for the Ricci flow by investigating curvature blow-up rates locally. We first introduce general definitions of Type I and Type II singular points and show that these are indeed the only possible…
We use a first-order energy quantity to prove a strengthened statement of uniqueness for the Ricci flow. One consequence of this statement is that if a complete solution on a noncompact manifold has uniformly bounded Ricci curvature, then…
We develop some estimates under the Ricci flow and use these estimates to study the blowup rates of curvatures at singularities. As applications, we obtain some gap theorems: $\displaystyle \sup_X |Ric|$ and $\displaystyle \sqrt{\sup_X…
Explicit formulas for the $G_2$-components of the Riemannian curvature tensor on a manifold with a $G_2$ structure are given in terms of Ricci contractions. We define a conformally invariant Ricci-type tensor that determines the…

This article consists of some loosely related remarks about the geometry of G_2-structures on 7-manifolds and is partly based on old unpublished joint work with two other people: F. Reese Harvey and Steven Altschuler. Much of this work has…
We prove uniform curvature estimates for homogeneous Ricci flows: For a solution defined on $[0,t]$ the norm of the curvature tensor at time $t$ is bounded by the maximum of $C(n)/t$ and $C(n) ( scal(g(t)) - scal(g(0)) )$. This is used to…
In this paper we study the long time existence of the Ricci-harmonic flow in terms of scalar curvature and Weyl tensor which extends Cao's result \cite{Cao2011} in the Ricci flow. In dimension four, we also study the integral bound of the…

We study integral curvature conditions for a Riemannian metric $g$ on $S^4$ that quantify the best bilipschitz constant between $(S^4,g)$ and the standard metric on $S^4$. Our results show that the best bilipschitz constant is controlled by…
We study higher-order curvature estimates along K\"ahler-Ricci flows on compact K\"ahler manifolds of intermediate Kodaira dimension. We prove that away from singular fibers, the Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded in $C^1$, the Laplacian…
