Abstract

In this paper, we show that the uniform L^4-bound of the transverse Ricci curvature along the Sasaki-Ricci flow on a compact quasi-regular Sasakian (2n+1)-manifold M of general type. As an application, any solution of the normalized Sasaki-Ricci flow converges in the Cheeger-Gromov sense to the unique singular Sasaki η-Einstein metric on the transverse canonical model M_can of M if n is less than or equal to 3. In particular for n equal to 2, M_can is a S^1-orbibundle over the unique Keahler-Einstein orbifold surface (Z_can,ω_KE) with finite point orbifold singularities. The floating foliation (-2)-curves in M will be contracted to orbifold points by the Sasaki-Ricci flow as t goes to infinite.
