Short-time persistence of bounded curvature under the Ricci flow

Abstract: Abstract. 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 its sectional curvature will remain bounded for a short time if it is bounded initially. In other words, the Weyl curvature tensor of a complete solution to the Ricci flow cannot become unbounded instantaneously if the Ricci curvature remains bounded.

Next, we recall the evolution equation satisfied by the Bianchi gauge along the Ricci flow with a Ricci flat background metric g ∞ given in [Kot17]: Lemma 3.11 (Kotschwar). Let (N n , g ∞ ) be a Ricci flat metric and let (g(t)) t∈[0,T ) be a Ricci flow on N .…”

“…In [18], the author consider the uniqueness problem if the curvature is bounded above by Ct −γ for γ ∈ [0, 1). By integrability of the Ricci curvature, two solutions g(t) and g(t) are also uniform equivalent to g 0 and hence to each other.…”

“…When n = 3, Chen [5] obtained a strong uniqueness result which says that any complete solution of the Ricci flow starting from the Euclidean metric must be stationary. Recently, Kotschwar [19,18] introduced an energy method which extended the classical uniqueness result to the case when two flows are uniformly equivalent and their curvature is bounded above by C(d 0 (x, p) 2 + 1)/t γ , γ < 1/2 or C/t γ , γ < 1. However, most of the solutions mentioned in the constructions above satisfy a curvature bound of the form C/t.…”

“…The energy method can also be used in proving uniqueness of other types of geometric flows. For example, Kotschwar applied the energy method to prove the uniqueness of Ricci flow [13,14]. Part of our motivation of the current work arises from our study of another Schrödinger type geometric flow, namely, the Skew Mean Curvature Flow(SMCF) [20].…”
