Abstract

We show -bounds of the Riemann curvature tensor on a smooth closed -dimensional Ricci flow. To achieve this we introduce the notion of a neck of maximal symmetry, similar to the one in Cheeger-Jiang-Naber and Jiang-Naber and establish a decomposition result by balls with uniform curvature bounds that satisfy an appropriate -content estimate.
