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…
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…
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 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…
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,…
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 [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…
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…
In this paper, we study $\kappa$-noncollapsed ancient solutions to the Ricci flow with nonnegative curvature operator in higher dimensions. We impose one further assumption: one of the asymptotic shrinking gradient Ricci solitons is the…
We consider compact noncollapsed ancient solutions to the 3-dimensional Ricci flow that are rotationally and reflection symmetric. We prove that these solutions are either the spheres or they all have unique asymptotic behavior as…
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…
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 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…
We generalize the circle bundle examples of ancient solutions of the Ricci flow discovered by Bakas, Kong, and Ni to a class of principal torus bundles over an arbitrary finite product of Fano K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds studied by Wang and…
The Ricci flow is a natural evolution equation for Riemannian metrics on a given manifold. The main goal is to understand singularity formation. In his spectacular 2002 breakthrough, Perelman achieved a qualitative understanding of…
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 an ancient solution $g(\cdot,t)$ of the Ricci flow on a compact surface that exists for $t\in (-\infty,T)$ and becomes spherical at time $t=T$. We prove that the metric $g(\cdot,t)$ is either a family of contracting spheres,…
We introduce a classification conjecture for $\kappa$-solutions in 4d Ricci flow. Our conjectured list includes known examples from the literature, but also a new 1-parameter family of $\mathbb{Z}_2^2\times \mathrm{O}_3$-symmetric…
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…
