Ricci flow with bounded curvature integrals

Differential Geometry 2021-11-10 v3

Abstract

In this paper, we study the Ricci flow on a closed manifold and finite time interval [0,T) (T<)[0,T)~(T < \infty) on which certain integral curvature energies are finite. We prove that in dimension four, such flow converges to a smooth Riemannian manifold except for finitely many orbifold singularities. We also show that in higher dimensions, the same assertions hold for a closed Ricci flow satisfying another conditions of integral curvature bounds. Moreover, we show that such flows can be extended over TT by an orbifold Ricci flow.
