Actually our proof also yields a (non-canonical) way to flow and regularize some interior region of a non-complete initial data satisfying the aformentioned bounds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-03-29T11:33:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44" ], "keywords": [ "ricci flow", "short-time existence", "lower ricci curvature bound", "lower bound", "short time" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160308726H" } } }
