The conjecture on immortal Ricci flows from quotients of Bryant's soliton
The conjecture on immortal Ricci flows from quotients of Bryant's soliton
Let the Bryant steady soliton be quotiented by a subgroup of , and let a hyperkähler Ricci-flat ALE metric be given. An immortal Ricci flow is a Ricci flow defined on a time interval extending to .
Bryant-quotient conjecture. There exist immortal Ricci flows approaching any quotient of Bryant's steady soliton by a subgroup of , bubbling off any hyperkähler Ricci-flat ALE metric.
The conjecture echoes the paper's four-dimensional constructions and proposes a broad existence theory for immortal flows with orbifold soliton limits and ALE bubbles.
