The uniqueness conjecture for ancient Ricci flows constructed in Theorem mainthm1
The uniqueness conjecture for ancient Ricci flows constructed in Theorem mainthm1
Consider the ancient solutions to Ricci flow constructed in Theorem
. Two such flows have the same underlying topology and the same tangent solitons at $-\infty$. **Uniqueness conjecture.** Up to time reparametrization and diffeomorphism, the ancient solutions to Ricci flow from Theoremare unique among smooth ancient solutions to Ricci flow having the same underlying topology and tangent solitons at .
The authors note that their proof already gives uniqueness within the same unit ball of the relevant function spaces; the conjecture asks for uniqueness without that restriction.
