Abstract: We prove that Perelman's ancient ovals occur as blowup limit in 3d Ricci flow through singularities if and only if there is an accumulation of spherical singularities.

Review text

The authors describe \(4\)-dimensional Ricci flows through singularities as metric flows, where a metric flow is given by a set \(X\), a time-function \(t:X\to \mathbb{R}\), complete separable metrics \(dt\) on the time-slices, and probability measures. Any metric flow \(X\) arising as a noncollapsed limit of smooth Ricci flows or arising from a \(3\)-dimensional singular Ricci flow is a weak solution of the Ricci flow. The authors prove that Perelman's ancient ovals occur as blowup limit in a \(3\)-dimensional Ricci flow through singularities if and only if there is an accumulation of spherical singularities.
