Why the higher order covariant derivatives of curvature is uniformly bounded?

35 Views Asked by At

I'm reading S.Brendle's Ricci Flow and the Sphere Theorem. In page36 and page43, he says using Cor3.3, we can obtain some higher order covariant curvatures are uniformly bounded in $[0,T)$. But Cor3.3 just shows that $\sup\limits_{M}{|D^mR_{g(t)}|^2}$ is bounded in $[\frac{\tau}{2},\tau]$ ,if $\sup\limits_{M}{|R_{g(t)}|^2}<\tau^{-1} $, $\forall t \in[0,\tau]$. How to use the Cor3.3?

Detailed

Let M be a compact manifold, $g(t)$,$t \in [0,T)$,$T< \infty$ be a maximal solution to the Ricci flow on M. The curvature tensor of $g(t)$(means that $\sup\limits_{t\in[0,t)}\sup\limits_{M}|R_{g(t)}|<\infty$) is uniformly bounded for all t$\in[0,T)$.Show that $\sup\limits_{t\in[0,t)}\sup\limits_{M}{|D^mR_{g(t)}|}<\infty$
