Abstract

This article is a continuation of [CMZ21b], where we proved that a Ricci flow with a closed and smooth tangent flow has unique tangent flow, and its corresponding forward or backward modified Ricci flow converges in the rate of for some . In this article, we calculate the corresponding -convergence rate: after being scaled by a factor , a Ricci flow with closed and smooth tangent flow is close to its tangent flow in the -sense, where is a positive number, in the blow-up case, and in the blow-down case.
