We develop foundational theory for the Laplacian flow for closed G2structures which will be essential for future study. (1). We prove Shi-type derivative estimates for the Riemann curvature tensorRmand torsion tensorTalong the flow, i.e. that a bound onwill imply bounds on all covariant derivatives ofRmandT. (2). We show thatwill blow up at a finite-time singularity, so the flow will exist as long asremains bounded. (3). We give a new proof of forward uniqueness and prove backward uniqueness of the flow, and give some applications. (4). We prove a compactness theorem for the flow and use it to strengthen our long time existence result from (2) to show that the flow will exist as long as the velocity of the flow remains bounded. (5). Finally, we study soliton solutions of the Laplacian flow.
