Mean value inequalities and conditions to extend Ricci flow (Q2347754)

The authors consider a Ricci flow solution on a closed manifold satisfying the uniform-growth condition if it develops a singularity in finite time and any singularity model obtained by parabolic rescaling at the scale of the maximum curvature tensor has non-flat curvature. They show through the mean value inequality method that such a solution can be extended past the singularity time. The method of mean value inequalities, originated in work of \textit{N. Q. Le} [Geom. Dedicata 151, 361--371 (2011; Zbl 1216.53059)] and \textit{F. He} [J. Geom. Anal. 24, No. 1, 81--91 (2014; Zbl 1304.53066)], is in fact analyzed systematically here in relation to conditions to extend the Ricci flow as well as in connection to the time-slice analysis of \textit{B. Wang} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2012, No. 14, 3192--3223 (2012; Zbl 1251.53040)].
