Preservation of product structures under the Ricci flow with instantaneous curvature bounds

Mary Cook

As on arXiv

Abstract

In this note, we prove that there exists a constant , depending only on the dimension, such that if a complete solution to the Ricci flow splits as a product at time and has curvature bounded by , then the solution splits for all time.
