Maximum solutions of normalized Ricci flow on 4-manifolds

Abstract: We consider maximum solution

g (t)

,

t i n [0, + i n f t y)

, to the normalized Ricci flow. Among other things, we prove that, if

(M, o m e g a)

is a smooth compact symplectic 4-manifold such that

b_{2}^{+} (M) > 1

and let

g (t), t i n [0, i n f t y)

, be a solution to (1.3) on

M

whose Ricci curvature satisfies that

| e x t R i c (g (t)) | l e q 3

and additionally

c h i (M) = 3 a u (M) > 0

, then there exists an

m i n m a t h b b N

, and a sequence of points

x_{j, k} i n M

,

j = 1, ..., m

, satisfying that, by passing to a subsequence,

(M, g(t_{k}+t), x_{1,k},..., x_{m,k}) stackrel{d_{GH}}longrightarrow (coprod_{j=1}^m N_j, g_{infty}, x_{1,infty}, ...,, x_{m,infty}),

t i n [0, i n f t y)

, in the

m

-pointed Gromov-Hausdorff sense for any sequence

t_{k} l o n g r i g h t a r r o w i n f t y

, where

(N_{j}, g_{i n f t y})

,

j = 1, ..., m

, are complete complex hyperbolic orbifolds of complex dimension 2 with at most finitely many isolated orbifold points. Moreover, the convergence is

C^{i n f t y}

in the non-singular part of

c o p r o d_{1}^{m} N_{j}

and

e x t {V o l}_{g_{0}} (M) = s u m_{j = 1}^{m} e x t {V o l}_{g_{i n f t y}} (N_{j})

, where

c h i (M)

(resp.

a u (M)

) is the Euler characteristic (resp. signature) of

M

.
