A local gap theorem for Ricci shrinkers

Pak-Yeung Chan, Zilu Ma, Yongjia Zhang

We prove a local gap theorem for Ricci shrinkers, which states that if the local -functional at scale on a large ball centered at the minimum point of the potential function…

Lower bounds for the scalar curvatures of Ricci flow singularity models

Pak-Yeung Chan, Bennett Chow, Zilu Ma +1

In a series of papers, Bamler [Bam20a,Bam20b,Bam20c] further developed the high-dimensional theory of Hamilton's Ricci flow to include new monotonicity formulas, a completely gener…

Kählerity of Einstein four-manifolds

Xiaolong Li, Yongjia Zhang

We prove that a closed oriented Einstein four-manifold is either anti-self-dual or (after passing to a double Riemann cover if necessary) Kähler-Einstein, provided that $λ_2 \geq -…

Volume growth estimates of gradient Ricci solitons

Pak-Yeung Chan, Zilu Ma, Yongjia Zhang

In this paper, we survey the volume growth estimates for shrinking, steady, and expanding gradient Ricci solitons. Together with the known results, we also prove some new volume gr…

The rate of -convergence for Ricci flows with closed and smooth tangent flows

Pak-Yeung Chan, Zilu Ma, Yongjia Zhang

This article is a continuation of [CMZ21b], where we proved that a Ricci flow with a closed and smooth tangent flow has unique tangent flow, and its corresponding forward or backwa…

Canonical surgeries in rotationally invariant Ricci flow

Timothy Buttsworth, Maximilien Hallgren, Yongjia Zhang

We construct a rotationally invariant Ricci flow through surgery starting at any closed rotationally invariant Riemannian manifold. We demonstrate that a sequence of such Ricci flo…

Hamilton-Ivey estimates for gradient Ricci solitons

Pak-Yeung Chan, Zilu Ma, Yongjia Zhang

We first show that any -dimensional non-Ricci-flat steady gradient Ricci soliton singularity model must satisfy for some positive constant . Then, we apply the…

A local Sobolev inequality on Ricci flow and its applications

Pak-Yeung Chan, Zilu Ma, Yongjia Zhang

In this article, we prove a local Sobolev inequality for complete Ricci flows. Our main result is that the local -functional of a disk on a Ricci flow depends only on the Nash e…

Pseudolocality and uniqueness of Ricci flow on almost Euclidean noncompact manifolds

Liang Cheng, Yongjia Zhang

In this paper, we prove a pseudolocality-type theorem for -complete noncompact Ricci flow which may not have bounded sectional curvature; with the help of it we study t…

An optimal volume growth estimate for noncollapsed steady gradient Ricci solitons

Richard H. Bamler, Pak-Yeung Chan, Zilu Ma +1

In this paper, we prove a volume growth estimate for steady gradient Ricci solitons with bounded Nash entropy. We show that such a steady gradient Ricci soliton has volume growth r…

On Ricci flows with closed and smooth tangent flows

Pak-Yeung Chan, Zilu Ma, Yongjia Zhang

In this paper, we consider Ricci flows admitting closed and smooth tangent flows in the sense of Bamler [Bam20c]. The tangent flow in question can be either a tangent flow at infin…

No breather theorems for the mean curvature flow

Liang Cheng, Yongjia Zhang

In this article we study the breathers of the mean curvature flow in the Euclidean space. A breather is a solution to the mean curvature flow which repeats itself up to isometry an…

A uniform Sobolev inequality for ancient Ricci flows with bounded Nash entropy

Pak-Yeung Chan, Zilu Ma, Yongjia Zhang

This note is a continuation of [CMZ21]. We shall show that an ancient Ricci flow with uniformly bounded Nash entropy must also have uniformly bounded -functional. Consequently,…

Ancient Ricci flows with asymptotic solitons

Pak-Yeung Chan, Zilu Ma, Yongjia Zhang

We study ancient Ricci flows which admit asymptotic solitons in the sense of Perelman. We prove that the asymptotic solitons must coincide with Bamler's tangent flows at infinity.…

A no expanding breather theorem for noncompact Ricci flows

Liang Cheng, Yongjia Zhang

In this note we show that, under certain curvature positivity conditions (the weak condition or the nonnegative bisectional curvature condition), a complete…

On the noncollapsedness of positively curved Type I ancient Ricci flows

Liang Cheng, Yongjia Zhang

In this article, we study complete Type I ancient Ricci flows with positive sectional curvature. Our main results are as follows: in the complete and noncompact case, all such anci…

Richard Bamler, Bennett Chow, Yuxing Deng +2

In this paper we consider -dimensional steady soliton singularity models, i.e., complete steady gradient Ricci solitons that arise as the rescaled limit of a finite time singula…

Perelman's entropy on ancient Ricci flows

Zilu Ma, Yongjia Zhang

In [ZY2], the second author proved Perelman's assertion, namely, for an ancient Ricci flow with bounded and nonnegative curvature operator, bounded entropy is equivalent to noncoll…
