\textit{R. S. Hamilton} showed in [Differ. Geom., Suppl. J. Differ. Geom. 2, 7--136 (1995; Zbl 0867.53030)] that if a complete solution to the Ricci flow with bounded curvature has asymptotic scalar curvature ratio \({\text{ASCR}} (g(t))= \infty\), then one can perform dimension reduction; hence the interest in ancient solutions with infinite ASCR. An ancient solution is type-I like if \({\text{sup}}_{M^n \times (-\infty, 0]} | t | \cdot {\text{Riem}} (x,t) < \infty\). The paper's main result shows that a certain cylindrical neck condition on complete, orientable, noncompact manifolds of odd dimensions \((M^{n \geq 3}, g)\) implies a lower bound on ASCR. Further, in dimension \(3\) it implies Hamilton's conjecture (loc. cit.) which states that there does not exist complete, noncompact, ancient type I-like solutions of the Ricci flow with bounded positive curvature operator.
