Perelman's classification conjecture for compact ancient non-collapsed Ricci flows on S3S^3

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let (S3,g(t))(S^3,g(t)) be a compact ancient κ\kappa-noncollapsed solution to the three-dimensional Ricci flow

∂∂tgij=−2Rij,\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g_{ij}=-2R_{ij},

existing for t∈(−∞,T)t\in(-\infty,T) and shrinking to a round point at TT. Perelman's conjecture. The solution g(t)g(t) is either a family of contracting spheres or Perelman's rotationally symmetric ancient solution on S3S^3. Perelman's solution is a type-II ancient solution that is non-collapsed and has the Bryant soliton and the round cylinder S2×RS^2\times\mathbb{R} as backward limits; the conjecture would classify compact ancient κ\kappa-noncollapsed three-dimensional Ricci flows relevant to singularity analysis.
