摘要本文研究了几乎非负弯曲(可能是奇异)三维度量空间的Ricci流演化问题。我们考虑的非负弯曲度量空间是光滑黎曼流形(Mi, ig)的极限,i∈_1,其Ricci曲率大于-1 /i,其直径小于d0(与i无关),其体积大于v0 >(与i无关)。我们证明对于这样的空间,Ricci流的解在短时间t∈(0,t)存在,且解对于t∈(0,t)是光滑的,并且对于t∈(0,t)(对于某常数c = c(v 0, d 0, n))具有Ricci (g(t))≧0和Riem (g(t))≧c/t。这允许我们对极限流形的拓扑类型和微分结构进行分类(根据Hamilton定理[J])。[j] .数学学报,24(3):153-179,1986。
Abstract In this paper we study the evolution of almost non-negatively curved (possibly singular) three dimensional metric spaces by Ricci flow. The non-negatively curved metric spaces which we consider arise as limits of smooth Riemannian manifolds (Mi, ig), i ∈ ℕ, whose Ricci curvature is bigger than –1/i, and whose diameter is less than d 0 (independent of i) and whose volume is bigger than v 0 > 0 (independent of i). We show for such spaces, that a solution to Ricci flow exists for a short time t ∈ (0, T), that the solution is smooth for t > 0, and has Ricci (g(t)) ≧ 0 and Riem (g(t)) ≧ c/t for t ∈ (0, T) (for some constant c = c(v 0, d 0, n)). This allows us to classify the topological type and the differential structure of the limit manifold (in view of the theorem of Hamilton [J. Diff. Geom. 24: 153–179, 1986] on closed three manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature).
