To appear in Journal of Geometric Analysis", "categories": [ "math.DG", "math.AP" ], "abstract": "Important models for immortal solutions of Ricci flow that collapse with bounded curvature come from locally G-invariant solutions on principal bundles, where G is a nilpotent Lie group. In this paper, we establish convergence and asymptotic stability, modulo smooth finite-dimensional center manifolds, of certain R^{N}-invariant solutions. When the dimension of the total space is three, these results are relevant to work of Lott classifying the asymptotic behavior of all 3-dimensional Ricci flow solutions whose sectional curvatures and diameters are respectively O(t^{-1}) and O(t^{1/2}).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-03-05T22:55:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44", "58J37" ], "keywords": [ "convergence", "modulo smooth finite-dimensional center manifolds", "nilpotent lie group", "ricci flow solutions", "asymptotic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0711.3859K" } } }
