On an invariant curvature cone along 4-dimensional Ricci flow
In this paper, we study 4-dimensional complete noncompact manifolds (M,g) satisfying Rm(g) $\in\mathfrak{C}_{\eta,\mu}$ via Ricci flow. Under the additional assumption of maximal volume growth, we prove topological and geometric gap theorems. We also study 4-dimensional complete manifolds satisfying a lower bound with respect to $\mathfrak{C}_{\eta,\mu}$ and obtain regularity results for Gromov-Hausdorff limits of complete volume non-collapsed manifolds satisfying such curvature lower bounds.
