Weak stability of Ricci expanders with positive curvature operator (Q2406015)

In this paper the authors show the \(L^\infty\) stability of expanding gradient Ricci solitons with positive curvature operator and quadratic curvature decay at infinity along the time-dependent DeTurck Ricci flow. The proof follows the strategy in [\textit{H. Koch} and \textit{T. Lamm}, Asian J. Math. 16, No. 2, 209--235 (2012; Zbl 1252.35159)]. One of the key steps in the proof is to get the Gaussian bounds for large time of the heat kernel associated to the time dependent Lichnerowicz operator, for which the authors adapt some arguments from [\textit{A. Grigor'yan}, J. Differ. Geom. 45, No. 1, 33--52 (1997; Zbl 0865.58042); \textit{Q. S. Zhang}, Int. Math. Res. Not. 2006, No. 15, Article ID 92314, 39 p. (2006; Zbl 1123.35006)].
