5 Ricci flow, basics Ricci flow: (M n, (g t ) t [0,T ) ) t g t = 2 Ric gt, g 0 = g ( ) Hamilton 1982 If M is compact, then ( ) has a unique solution. If T <, then max M Rm g t t T Speak: (g t ) develops a singularity at time T.

9 Singularity analysis, general case Consider a general Ricci flow (M n, (g t ) t [0,T ) ) Goal: Rule out S 1 (ε) Σ 2 -singularity models No Local Collapsing Theorem (Perelman 2002) There is a constant κ(n, T, g 0 ) > 0 such that (M n, (g t ) t [0,T ) ) is κ-noncollapsed at scales < 1, i.e. for any (x, t) M [0, T ) and 0 < r < 1: Rm (, t) < r 2 on B(x, t, r) = B(x, t, r) t κr n Corollary Rm (, t) < r 2 on B(x, t, r) = inj(x, t) > c(κ)r n ichard H Bamler (based on joint work with Bruce Kleiner, Uniqueness NYU) (Berkeley) of weak solutions to the Ricci flow September / 50
10 Singularity analysis, general case Blowup analysis: Choose (x i, t i ) M [0, T ) s.t.

17 Ricci flow with surgery Ricci flow with surgery: surgery (M 1, g 1 t ), t [0, T 1 ], (M 2, g 2 t ), t [T 1, T 2 ], (M 3, g 3 t ), t [T 1, T 2 ],...

No accumulation of T i. ichard H Bamler (based on joint work with Bruce Kleiner, Uniqueness NYU) (Berkeley) of weak solutions to the Ricci flow September / 50
18 Ricci flow with surgery Note: surgery process is not canonical (depends on surgery parameters) Perelman: It is likely that [... ] one would get a canonically defined Ricci flow through singularities, but at the moment I don t have a proof of that. Our approach [... ] is aimed at eventually constructing a canonical Ricci flow, [... ] - a goal, that has not been achieved yet in the present work.

Metric g: on the distribution {dt = 0} T M Ricci flow equation: L t g = 2 Ric g (surgery points) (M, t, t, g is called a Ricci flow spacetime. Note: there are holes at scale δ space-time is δ-complete ichard H Bamler (based on joint work with Bruce Kleiner, Uniqueness NYU) (Berkeley) of weak solutions to the Ricci flow September / 50
20 Space-time picture The spacetime (M, t, t, g)... satisfies the ε-canonical neighborhood assumption at scales (Cδ, r ε )... is Cδ-complete i.e. {ρ ρ, t T } M is compact for all ρ > Cδ, T > 0 Richard H Bamler (based on joint work with Bruce Kleiner, Uniqueness NYU) (Berkeley) of weak solutions to the Ricci flow September / 50
21 Theorem (Kleiner, Lott 2014) Given a compact (M 3, g 0 ), there is a Ricci flow space-time (M, t, t, g) s.t.: initial time-slice: (M 0, g) = (M, g 0 ). (M, t, t, g) is 0-complete (i.e. singularity scale δ = 0 ) M satisfies the ε-canonical nbhd assumption at small scales for all ε > 0. (M, t, t, g) flows through singularities at infinitesimal scale Remarks: g is smooth everywhere and not defined at singularities singular times may accummulate (M, t, t, g) arises as limit for δ i 0.

29 Recap κ-solutions Recall: κ-solutions model high curvature / low ρ regions κ-solutions R 3 are not completely classified However, any κ-solution that is also a steady soliton is isometric to the Bryant soliton (M Bry, g Bry ) modulo rescaling. Hamilton Brendle 2011 t R 0 on every κ-solution (M, (g t )) If t R(x, t) = 0 for some (x, t) M (, 0], then (M, (g t )) is isometric to the Bryant soliton modulo rescaling. ichard H Bamler (based on joint work with Bruce Kleiner, Uniqueness NYU) (Berkeley) of weak solutions to the Ricci flow September / 50
30 (Strong) ε-necks Recall: shrinking cylinder: ρ = ( 1 3 R) 1/2 (M, g) Riemannian manifold g S 2 R,t = ( 2 3 2t)g S 2 + g R ρ(, 0) 1, ρ(, 1) 2 ε-neck (at scale r): U M such that there is a diffeomorphism ψ : S 2 ( ε 1, ε 1 ) U with r 2 ψ g g S2 R,0 C < ε [ε 1] (S 2 ( ε 1,ε 1 )) ψ(s 2 {0}) central 2-sphere, consisting of centers of U (M, (g t )) Ricci flow strong ε-neck (at scale r): as before, but r 2 ψ g r 2 t+t 0 g S2 R,t C [ε 1] (S 2 ( ε 1,ε 1 ) [ 1,0]) < ε ichard H Bamler (based on joint work with Bruce Kleiner, Uniqueness NYU) (Berkeley) of weak solutions to the Ricci flow September / 50
31 (Strong) ε-necks Example: Bryant soliton (M Bry, g Bry, x Bry ) If d t (y, x Bry ) > C Bry (ε), then (y, t) is a center of a strong ε-neck. In a general RF, if (y, t) is a center of an ε (ε)-neck, then it is also a center of a strong ε-neck.

32 Toy Case We will only consider Ricci flow spacetimes M with the following properties: 1 M (0,T ) comes from a non-singular, conventional RF (M, (g t ) t (0,T ) ) that is κ-noncollapsed at scales < 1. 2 M 0 can be compactified by adding a single point. M 0 = (M X, g0 := lim t 0 g t ) for some X M. 3 ρ min (t) := min M ρ(, t) = ρ(x t, t) is weakly increasing. 4 Every (x, t) M (0, T ) with ρ(x, t) < 1 is one of the following: a center of a strong ε-neck at scale ρ(x, t) locally ε-modeled on (M Bry, g Bry, y) for some y M Bry with d t (y, x Bry ) < C Bry (ε). (ε will be chosen small in the course of the talks.) ichard H Bamler (based on joint work with Bruce Kleiner, Uniqueness NYU) (Berkeley) of weak solutions to the Ricci flow September / 50

51 The general case Problems that may arise Caps may not always be modeled on Bryant solitons Solution: Perform cap extension at the right time, when t R 0 on M and M N and φ must be chosen simultaneously There may be more than one cusp Solution: Continue the neck and cap extension process after the first cap extension. Curvature of the cap may increase again after cap extension (and there may be an accumulation of singular times) Solution: Perform a cap removal when the curvature exceeds a certain threshold. Ensure that cap extensions and cap removals are sufficiently separated in space and time such that Q has time to recover after a cap extension.
