ABSTRACT
In this paper we present several curvature estimates for solutions of the Ricci flow and the modified Ricci flow (including the volume normalized Ricci flow and the normalized KÃ¤hler-Ricci flow), which depend on the smallness of certain local $$L^{\frac{n}{2}}$$ integrals of the norm of the Riemann curvature tensor | Rm|, where n denotes the dimension of themanifold. These local integrals are scaling invariant and very natural.

A solution to the normalized Ricci flow is called non-singular if it exists for all time with uniformly bounded sectional curvature. By using the techniques developed by the present authors [Ishida, The normalized Ricci flow on four-manifolds and exotic smooth structures; Suvaina, Einstein...

This note is a continuation of the author's paper (Li, Adv. Math. 223(6):1924-1957, ). We prove that if the metric g of a compact 4-manifold has bounded Ricci curvature and its curvature has no local concentration everywhere, then it can be smoothed to a metric with bounded sectional curvature....

We study the blowup behavior at infinity of the normalized KÃ¤hler-Ricci flow on a Fano manifold which does not admit KÃ¤hler-Einstein metrics. We prove an estimate for the KÃ¤hler potential away from a multiplier ideal subscheme, which implies that the volume forms along the flow converge...
