It states that given any sequence of such Ricci flows, we can pass to a subsequence that converges to a metric space which is smooth away from a set of codimension $\\geq 4$. The result has two main consequences: First, it implies that singularities in Ricci flows with bounded scalar curvature have codimension $\\geq 4$ and, second, it establishes a general form of the Hamilton-Tian Conjecture, which is even true in the Riemannian case. In the course of the proof, we will also establish the following results: $L^{p < 4}$ curvature bounds, integral bounds on the curvature radius, Gromov-Hausdorff closeness of time-slices, an $\\varepsilon$-regularity theorem for Ricci flows and an improved backwards pseudolocality theorem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-28T21:04:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bounded scalar curvature", "ricci flows", "compactness properties", "compactness result", "pseudolocality theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 151, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151208527B" } } }
