The WPIC1 Ricci-flow existence conjecture

Let $(M^n,g_0)$ be a complete WPIC1 manifold with $n\geq 3$. WPIC1 Ricci-flow existence conjecture. There exists a complete WPIC1 Ricci flow $g(t)$ on $M$ for $t\in[0,T)$, for some $T>0$, with $g(0)=g_0$. This conjecture is the key Ricci-flow existence step for applying smoothing to the topology problem on complete noncompact manifolds. In dimension three it asserts that a complete metric with nonnegative Ricci curvature should induce a complete Ricci-flow evolution; the general statement remains open in the supplied discussion.
