Abstract: We study curvature pinching estimates of Ricci flow on complete 3- dimensional manifolds without bounded curvature assumption. We will derive some general curvature conditions which are preserved on any complete solution of 3-dim Ricci flow, these conditions include nonnegative Ricci curvature and sectional curvature as special cases. A local version of Hamilton-Ivey estimates is also obtained.

Review text

The author studied curvature pinching estimates of Ricci flow on complete \(3\)-dimensional Riemannian manifolds without bounded curvature assumption. He proved the non-negativity of some function of the curvature under Ricci flow when that function of curvature is non-negative at the initial time \(t=0\). As a consequence the Ricci curvature remains non-negative under Ricci flow when the Ricci curvature is non-negative at the initial time \(t=0\). A local version of the Hamilton-Ivy estimates was also obtained.
