Smoothing polyhedral spaces via Ricci flow

Richard H. Bamler, Esther Cabezas-Rivas

We prove Petrunin's smoothing conjecture in all dimensions: every compact Euclidean polyhedral space without boundary and with nonnegative Alexandrov curvature is a Gromov-Hausdorf…

A non-Kähler expanding Ricci soliton with a Kähler tangent cone at infinity

Richard H. Bamler, Eric Chen, Ronan J. Conlon

We construct an example of an asymptotically conical (AC) non-Kähler expanding gradient Ricci soliton that has a Kähler tangent cone at infinity. This yields an example of a Kähler…

The PDE-ODI principle and cylindrical mean curvature flows

Richard H. Bamler, Yi Lai

We introduce a new approach for analyzing ancient solutions and singularities of mean curvature flow that are locally modeled on a cylinder. Its key ingredient is a general mechani…

Classification of ancient cylindrical mean curvature flows and the Mean Convex Neighborhood Conjecture

Richard H. Bamler, Yi Lai

We resolve the Mean Convex Neighborhood Conjecture for mean curvature flows in all dimensions and for all types of cylindrical singularities. Specifically, we show that if the tang…

Richard H. Bamler, Charles Cifarelli, Ronan J. Conlon +1

We prove the existence of a unique complete shrinking gradient Kähler-Ricci soliton with bounded scalar curvature on the blowup of at one point. Th…

Decomposing 4-manifolds with positive scalar curvature

Richard H. Bamler, Chao Li, Christos Mantoulidis

We show that every closed, oriented, topologically PSC 4-manifold can be obtained via 0 and 1-surgeries from a topologically PSC 4-orbifold with vanishing first Betti number and se…

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 the fundamental group of non-collapsed ancient Ricci flows

Richard H. Bamler

We show that any manifold admitting a non-collapsed, ancient Ricci flow must have finite fundamental group. This generalizes what was known for -solutions in dimensions 2, 3. We…

Structure theory of non-collapsed limits of Ricci flows

Richard H Bamler

In this paper we characterize non-collapsed limits of Ricci flows. We show that such limits are smooth away from a set of codimension in the parabolic sense and that the t…

Compactness theory of the space of Super Ricci flows

Richard H Bamler

We develop a compactness theory for super Ricci flows, which lays the foundations for the partial regularity theory in [Bam20b]. Our results imply that any sequence of super Ricci…

Entropy and heat kernel bounds on a Ricci flow background

Richard H Bamler

In this paper we establish new geometric and analytic bounds for Ricci flows, which will form the basis of a compactness, partial regularity and structure theory for Ricci flows in…
