review text: After analyzing Hamilton's original estimate, the space-time viewpoint of Chow and Chu and the new expression discovered by Chow and Knopf, the author succeeded in proving a new Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate for the Ricci flow. His result generalizes the results of \textit{B. Chow} and \textit{D. Knopf} [J. Differ. Geom., 60, No.~1, 1--54 (2002; Zbl 1048.53026)]. The main result is: Let \(\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g=-2Rc\). Let \(A\) be a closed 2-form solving \(\frac{\partial}{\partial A}g=\Delta_{d}A\), and \(h\) a symmetric 2-tensor solving \(\frac{\partial}{\partial t}h={\Delta}_{L}h+{\nabla}{\nabla} | A| ^{2}\). Then, the inequality \[ \Phi=R_{ijk\ell}U_{ij}U_{k\ell}+2W_{j}D_{j}A_{k\ell}U_{\ell k}+(g^{pq}A_{jp}A_{\ell q}+h_{j\ell})W_{j}W_{\ell}\geq 0, \] is preserved for \(t > 0\). Here, \(\Delta_{d}\) is the Hodge-de Rham Laplacian on two-forms, and \(\Delta_{L}\) is the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on symmetric tensors.
