Degenerate Neckpinches in Ricci Flow

چکیده
In earlier work [2], we derived formal matched asymptotic profiles for families of Ricci flow solutions developing Type-II degenerate neckpinches. In the present work, we prove that there do exist Ricci flow solutions that develop singularities modeled on each such profile. In particular, we show that for each positive integer k ≥ 3, there exist compact solutions in all dimensions m ≥ 3 that become singular at the rate (T − t)−2+2/k.

Formal matched asymptotics for degenerate Ricci flow neckpinches
Gu and Zhu [16] have shown that Type-II Ricci flow singularities develop from nongeneric rotationally symmetric Riemannian metrics on Sn+1 (n ≥ 2). In this paper, we describe and provide plausibility arguments for a detailed asymptotic profile and rate of curvature blow-up that we predict such solutions exhibit.
متن کاملMinimally Invasive Surgery for Ricci Flow Singularities
In this paper, we construct smooth forward Ricci flow evolutions of singular initial metrics resulting from rotationally symmetric neckpinches on Sn+1, without performing an intervening surgery. In the restrictive context of rotational symmetry, this construction gives evidence in favor of Perelman’s hope for a “canonically defined Ricci flow through singularities”.
متن کاملRicci Flow Neckpinches without Rotational Symmetry
We study “warped Berger” solutions ( S1×S3, G(t) ) of Ricci flow: generalized warped products with the metric induced on each fiber {s}×SU(2) a left-invariant Berger metric. We prove that this structure is preserved by the flow, that these solutions develop finite-time neckpinch singularities, and that they asymptotically approach round product metrics in space-time neighborhoods of their singu...
متن کاملA Remark on Degenerate Singularity in Three Dimensional Ricci Flow
We show that a rescale limit at any degenerate singularity of Ricci flow in dimension 3 is a steady gradient soliton. In particular, we give a geometric description of type I and type II singularities.
متن کاملEvolution of the first eigenvalue of buckling problem on Riemannian manifold under Ricci flow
Among the eigenvalue problems of the Laplacian, the biharmonic operator eigenvalue problems are interesting projects because these problems root in physics and geometric analysis. The buckling problem is one of the most important problems in physics, and many studies have been done by the researchers about the solution and the estimate of its eigenvalue. In this paper, first, we obtain the evol...
