The paper studies the existence problem of Ricci-DeTurck flow starting from metrics with rough regularity in dimension four, and the instantaneous smoothing. More precisely, the authors establish the quantitative short-time existence starting from rough metrics which are bi-lipschitz and $W^{2,2}$ metrics with respect to bounded geometry background metrics. As an application, the authors define the notion of scalar curvature lower bound for this class of nonsmooth metrics.
