Non-singular solutions of normalized Ricci flow on noncompact manifolds of finite volume

Abstract: The main result of this paper shows that, if

g (t)

is a complete non-singular solution of the normalized Ricci flow on a noncompact 4-manifold

M

of finite volume, then the Euler characteristic number

c h i (M) g e q 0

. Moreover,

c h i (M) e q 0

, there exist a sequence times

t_{k} o i n f t y

, a double sequence of points

{p_{k, l}}_{l = 1}^{N}

and domains

{U_{k, l}}_{l = 1}^{N}

with

p_{k, l} i n U_{k, l}

satisfying the followings: [(i)]

d i s t_{g (t_{k})} (p_{k, l_{1}}, p_{k, l_{2}}) o i n f t y

as

k o i n f t y

, for any fixed

l_{1} e q l_{2}

; [(ii)] for each

l

,

(U_{k, l}, g (t_{k}), p_{k, l})

converges in the

C_{l o c}^{i} n f t y

sense to a complete negative Einstein manifold

(M_{i n f t y, l}, g_{i n f t y, l}, p_{i n f t y, l})

when

k o i n f t y

; [(iii)]

as

k o i n f t y

.
