Observation on normalized Ricci flow on two sphere

133 Views Asked by At

Note that two sphere with nonnegative curvature converges to canonical sphere along normalized Ricci flow. So assume that if curvature is bounded below by $-\epsilon$ then the sphere meets a singularity or converges to a canonical sphere. Fix a metric $g$ with nonnegative curvature. Then is there $g_0$ such that

(1) curvature is not nonnegative

(2) if $g(t)$ is a solution converging to canonical sphere with $g(0)=g_0$ then $g(\epsilon_2)=g$ where $\epsilon_2>0$.

Is there such $g_0$ ?
