Smoothness and regularity of solutions to PDEs (35B65)

Abstract: We consider smooth complete solutions to Ricci flow with bounded curvature on manifolds without boundary in dimension three. Assuming an open ball at time zero of radius one has curvature bounded from below by -1, then we prove estimates which show that compactly contained subregions of this ball will be smoothed out by the Ricci flow for a short but well defined time interval. The estimates we obtain depend only on the initial volume of the ball and the distance from the compact region to the boundary of the initial ball. Versions of these estimates for balls of radius r follow using scaling arguments.
