$L^1$ curvature bounds for Type I Ricci flows

Abstract

We show $L^1$-bounds of the Riemann curvature tensor on a smooth closed $n$-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 $(n-2)$-content estimate.
