Short-time existence of the Ricci flow on noncompact Riemannian manifolds

Abstract:

In this talk, using the local Ricci flow, we prove the short-time existence of the Ricci flow on noncompact manifolds, whose Ricci curvature has global lower bound and sectional curvature has only local average integral bound. The short-time existence of the Ricci flow on noncompact manifolds was studied by Wan-Xiong Shi in 1990s, who required a point-wise bound of curvature tensors. As a corollary of our main theorem, we get the short-time existence part of Shi's theorem in this more general context.
