Short-time existence of the Ricci flow on complete, non-collapsed $3$-manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below

Abstract

We prove that for any complete three-manifold with a lower Ricci curvature bound and a lower bound on the volume of balls of radius one, a solution to the Ricci flow exists for short time. Actually our proof also yields a (non-canonical) way to flow and regularize some interior region of a non-complete initial data satisfying the aformentioned bounds.
