An Uniform Sobolev Inequality under Ricci Flow
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold and the metrics g = g(t) evolve by the Ricci flow. We prove the following result. The Sobolev imbedding by Aubin or Hebey, perturbed by a scalar curvature term and modulo sharpness of constants, holds uniformly for (M, g(t)) for all time if the Ricci flow exists for all time; and if the Ricci flow develops a singularity in finite time, then the same Sobolev imbedding holds uniformly after a standard normalization. As a consequence, long time non-collapsing results are derived, which improve Perelman’s local non-collapsing results.

Strong Non-collapsing and Uniform Sobolev Inequalities for Ricci Flow with Surgeries
We prove a uniform Sobolev inequality for Ricci flow, which is independent of the number of surgeries. As an application, under less assumptions, a non-collapsing result stronger than Perelman’s κ non-collapsing with surgery is derived. The proof is shorter and seems more accessible. The result also improves some earlier ones where the Sobolev inequality depended on the number of surgeries.
متن کاملTime-dependent Sobolev Inequality along the Ricci Flow
d dt g = −2Rc g(0) = g0 on a closed manifold M. An important ingredient of Perelman’s proof of geometrization conjecture is the non-collapsing theorem of Ricci flow which makes sure that we can get a singularity model of the flow when a singularity exists. In [7], Zhang gave an easier way to prove the noncollapsing theorem of Ricci flow via a uniform Sobolev inequality along the flow. Unfortuna...

متن کاملUniform Sobolev Inequalities for Manifolds Evolving by Ricci Flow
Let M be a compact n-dimensional manifold, n ≥ 2, with metric g(t) evolving by the Ricci flow ∂gij/∂t = −2Rij in (0, T ) for some T ∈ R + ∪ {∞} with g(0) = g0. Let λ0(g0) be the first eigenvalue of the operator −∆g0 + R(g0) 4 with respect to g0. We extend a recent result of R.

متن کاملFirst Variation of the Log Entropy Functional along the Ricci Flow
In this note, we establish the first variation formula of the adjusted log entropy functional Ya introduced by Ye in [14]. As a direct consequence, we also obtain the monotonicity of Ya along the Ricci flow. Various entropy functionals play crucial role in the singularity analysis of Ricci flow. Let (M, g(t)) be a smooth family of Riemannian metrics on a closed manifold M and suppose g(t) is a ...
