We extend the second part of \cite{Bre20} on the uniqueness of ancient $\kappa$-solutions to higher dimensions. In dimensions $n \geq 4$, an ancient $\kappa$-solution is a nonflat, complete, ancient solution of the Ricci flow that is…

We show that $\kappa$-solutions to the Ricci flow in dimensions $n\geq 4$ whose asymptotic shrinking Ricci soliton is the round cylinder $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\times\mathbb{R}$ must be uniformly PIC. Combined with earlier classification results,…

We show that every $n$-dimensional, $\kappa$-noncollapsed, noncompact, complete ancient solution to the Ricci flow with uniformly PIC for $n=4$ or $n\ge 12$ has weakly PIC$_2$ and bounded curvature. Combining this with earlier results, we…

It is known from work of Perelman that any finite-time singularity of the Ricci flow on a compact three-manifold is modeled on an ancient $\kappa$-solution. We prove that the every noncompact ancient $\kappa$-solution in dimension $3$ is…

In [4], we proved that every noncompact ancient $\kappa$-solution to the Ricci flow in dimension $3$ is either locally isometric to a family of shrinking cylinders, or isometric to the Bryant soliton. In the same paper, we announced that…

Ancient solutions of the Ricci flow arise naturally as models for singularity formation. There has been significant progress towards the classification of such solutions under natural geometric assumptions. Nonnegatively curved solutions in…

In this paper, we study the classification of $\kappa$-noncollapsed ancient solutions to n-dimensional Ricci flow on $S^n$, extending the result in [13] to higher dimensions. We prove that such a solution is either isometric to a family of…

We give a complete classification of all $\kappa$-noncollapsed, complete ancient solutions to the K\"ahler Ricci flow with nonnegative bisectional curvature.

In this paper, we study the asymptotic geometry of a noncollapsed ancient Ricci flow with nonnegative Ricci curvature via its tangent flow at infinity -- a noncollapsed $\mathbb{F}$-limit metric soliton [Bam23,CMZ23]. We first prove some…

In this short paper, we show there do not exist three-dimensional noncompact $\kappa$-solutions of Ricci flow that have positive curvature and satisfy a Type-I bound. This represents progress towards the proof of Perelman's conjecture that…

In this paper, we study the classification of $\kappa$-noncollapsed ancient solutions to three-dimensional Ricci flow on $S^3$. We prove that such a solution is either isometric to a family of shrinking round spheres, or the Type II ancient…

In this paper we study the classification of compact $\kappa$-noncollapsed ancient solutions to the 3-dimensional Ricci flow which are rotationally and reflection symmetric. We prove that any such solution is isometric to the sphere or the…

In this paper we discuss the asymptotic entropy for ancient solutions to the Ricci flow. We prove a gap theorem for ancient solutions, which could be regarded as an entropy counterpart of Yokota's work. In addition, we prove that under some…

In this article, we study complete Type I ancient Ricci flows with positive sectional curvature. Our main results are as follows: in the complete and noncompact case, all such ancient solutions must be noncollapsed on all scales; in the…

In this short note, we prove that the only simply connected noncompact three-dimensional Type I $\kappa$-solution to the Ricci flow is the shrinking cylinder. This work can be regarded as a generalization of Cao and Chow, and a complement…

A well-known question of Perelman concerns the classification of noncompact ancient solutions to the Ricci flow in dimension $3$ which have positive sectional curvature and are $\kappa$-noncollapsed. In this paper, we solve the analogous…

In this paper we prove classification results for gradient shrinking Ricci solitons under two invariant conditions, namely nonnegative orthogonal bisectional curvature and weakly PIC1, without any curvature bound. New results on ancient…

We show that any manifold admitting a non-collapsed, ancient Ricci flow must have finite fundamental group. This generalizes what was known for $\kappa$-solutions in dimensions 2, 3. We furthermore show that this fundamental group must be a…

We consider compact ancient solutions to the three-dimensional Ricci flow which are noncollapsed. We prove that such a solutions is either a family of shrinking round spheres, or it has a unique asymptotic behavior as $t \to -\infty$ which…

For each $n\ge 3$, we construct a 'pancake-like', $O(2)\times O(n-1)$-invariant ancient Ricci flow with positive curvature operator and bounded "girth", and we determine its asymptotic limits backwards in time. This solution is new even in…
