A counterexample to the second inequality of Corollary (19.10) in the monograph "Ricci Flow and the Poincare Conjecture" by J.Morgan and G.Tian

We provide here a counter-example to the second inequality of Corollary (19.10) in the Clay Institute Monograph by J.Morgan and G.Tian entitled "Ricci Flow and the Poincare Conjecture". We had announced the existence of this counter-example in our paper "Five Gaps in Mathematics", Advanced Non-linear Studies, vol 15, No. 2, (2015). We make the details available here. J.Morgan and G.Tian have recently (arXiv/math/DG:1512.00699, (2015)) published a correction to their arguments in the monograph. In a forthcoming short Note, we will discuss this correction. We wish to thank John Morgan, Terry Tao and Gang Tian for having considered and discussed the validity of this counter-example.
