Abstract: We prove uniform curvature estimates for homogeneous Ricci flows: For a solution defined on $[0,t]$ the norm of the curvature tensor at time $t$ is bounded by the maximum of $C(n)/t$ and $C(n)(scal(g(t))-scal(g(0)))$. This is used to show that solutions with finite extinction time are Type I, immortal solutions are Type III and ancient solutions are Type I, where all the constants involved depend only on the dimension $n$. A further consequence is that a non-collapsed homogeneous ancient solution on a compact homogeneous space emerges from a unique Einstein metric on the same space. The above curvature estimates are proved using a gap theorem for Ricci-flatness on homogeneous spaces. The proof of this gap theorem is by contradiction and uses a local $W^{2,p}$ convergence result, which holds without symmetry assumptions.
