Unique Asymptotics of Compact Ancient Solutions to three-dimensional Ricci flow
Abstract
We consider compact ancient solutions to the three-dimensional Ricci flow which are noncollapsed. We prove that such a solutions is either a family of shrinking round spheres, or it has a unique asymptotic behavior as t -∞ which we describe. This analysis applies in particular to the ancient solution constructed by Perelman.
