Ancient solutions to the Ricci flow in dimension \(3\) (Q2663751)

Ancient \(\kappa\)-solutions are the ancient solutions to the Ricci flow, which are complete, non-flat, \(\kappa\)-non-collapsed and have bounded and non-negative curvature. The purpose of this paper is to give a classification of all non-compact ancient \(\kappa\)-solution in dimension \(3\). In particular, the author proves that a \(3\)-dimensional non-compact ancient \(\kappa\)-solutions \((M,g(t))\) is isometric to either a family of shrinking cylinders (or a quotient thereof ) or to the Bryant soliton.
