Curvature Bounds on Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature up to dimension 7
As on arXiv
Abstract
In this paper, we study Ricci flows with uniformly bounded scalar curvature. On such Ricci flows we establish uniform Riemannian curvature bounds and Ricci curvature bounds up to dimension 7. These estimates improves curvature bounds established by Bamler and curvature bounds in dimension 4 established by Bamler and Zhang. More generally, we establish uniform curvature bounds on -manifolds satisfying an integral Ricci curvature bound for , a uniform volume lower bound, and a strong -regularity assumption. This result extends the celebrated curvature estimates of Jiang and Naber, which were established under pointwise two-sided Ricci curvature bounds. To overcome the lack of pointwise control, we develop an adaptation of the neck decomposition theorem and establish a superconvexity estimate for the curvature on neck regions. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our structural assumptions are dynamically natural on Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature. As an application, by combining our estimate with the a priori curvature radius bound of Ricci flow established by Bamler, we obtain uniform curvature bounds on Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature of dimension .
