Abstract: We develop foundational theory for the Laplacian flow for closed G_2 structures which will be essential for future study. (1). We prove Shi-type derivative estimates for the Riemann curvature tensor Rm and torsion tensor T along the flow, i.e. that a bound on $Lambda(x,t)=left(|ablaT(x,t){|}_{g(t)}^2+|Rm(x,t){|}_{g(t)}^{2}ight{)}^{frac12}$ will imply bounds on all covariant derivatives of Rm and T. (2). We show that $Lambda(x,t)$ will blow up at a finite-time singularity, so the flow will exist as long as $Lambda(x,t)$ remains bounded. (3). We give a new proof of forward uniqueness and prove backward uniqueness of the flow, and give some applications. (4). We prove a compactness theorem for the flow and use it to strengthen our long time existence result from (2). (5). Finally, we study compact soliton solutions of the Laplacian flow.
