Abstract: This is the fourth and last part of a series of papers on the long-time behavior of 3 dimensional Ricci flows with surgery. In this paper, we prove our main two results. The first result states that if the surgeries are performed correctly, then the flow becomes non-singular eventually and the curvature is bounded by $C{t}^{-1}$. The second result provides a qualitative description of the geometry as $toinfty$.

Review text

In Part D of this series of papers, the author proves the main two results of this study on long-time behaviour of 3-dimensional Ricci flows with surgery. The proofs are based on results of the three previous papers by the author [Zbl 1388.53058; Zbl 1388.53059; Zbl 1388.53060]. The first result states: ``If the surgeries are performed correctly then the flow becomes non-singular eventually and the curvature is bounded by \(C(1/t)\). (Using this bound it is possible to rule out the existence of surgeries, since the surgeries can only arise at points where the curvature goes to infinity.) The second result provides a qualitative description of the geometry of a Ricci flow with surgery as \(t\) goes to infinity. In Part A, the author recalled Perelman's result on the long-time behaviour of Ricci flows (with surgery). It states that for every sufficiently large time there is a decomposition of the manifold into the thick part and the thin part; the metric on the thick part converges to a hyperbolic metric, while the metric on the thin part collapses locally at scale with a lower sectional curvature bound. So, the desired curvature bound holds on thick part and it remains to study the thin part and to show that the curvature bound holds there as well. The author analyzes the collapsed part and the geometric/topological consequences.
