On existence and curvature estimates of Ricci flow

In this work, using the method by He, we prove a short time existence for Ricci flow on a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with the following properties: (i) there is $r_0>0$ such that the volume of any geodesic balls of radius $r\le r_0$ is close to the volume of the geodesic ball in the Euclidean space with the same radius; (ii) the Ricci curvature is bounded below; (iii) the sectional curvature is bounded below by $-Cd^2(x,x_0)$ where $d(x,x_0)$ is the distance from a fixed point. An application to the uniformization for complete noncompact Kahler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature and maximal volume growth is given. The result is related to the results of He and Liu. We prove if $g(t)$ is a complete solution to the Kahler-Ricci flow on a complete noncompact Kahler manifold so that $g(0)$ has nonnegative bisectional curvature and the curvature of $g(t)$ is bounded by $at^{-b}$ for some $a>0, 2>b>0$, then $g(t)$ also has nonnegative bisectional curvature. This generalizes a previous result. Under the assumption that $g(0)$ is noncollapsing, with additional assumption that the curvature of $g(t)$ is uniformly bounded away from $t>0$, we prove that the curvature of $g(t)$ is in fact bounded by $at^{-1}$ for some $a>0$. This result is proved using the method by Simon and Topping.
