Abstract: In this note we prove the following result: Let $X$ be a complete, connected 4-manifold with uniformly positive isotropic curvature, with bounded geometry and with no essential incompressible space form. Then $X$ is diffeomorphic to $mathbb{S}^4$, or $mathbb{RP}^4$, or $mathbb{S}^{3}imesmathbb{S}^1$, or $mathbb{S}^{3}widetildeimesmathbb{S}^1$, or a possibly infinite connected sum of them. This extends work of Hamilton and Chen-Zhu to the noncompact case. The proof uses Ricci flow with surgery on complete 4-manifolds, and is inspired by recent work of Bessi$gravee$res, Besson and Maillot.
