Abstract
Abstract In dimensions n ≥ 4 {n\geq 4} , an ancient κ-solution is a nonflat, complete, ancient solution of the Ricci flow that is uniformly PIC and weakly PIC2; has bounded curvature; and is κ-noncollapsed. In this paper, we study the classification of ancient κ-solutions to n-dimensional Ricci flow on S n {S^{n}} , extending the result in [S. Brendle, P. Daskalopoulos and N. Sesum, Uniqueness of compact ancient solutions to three-dimensional Ricci flow, Invent. Math. 226 2021, 2, 579–651] to higher dimensions. We prove that such a solution is either isometric to a family of shrinking round spheres, or the Type II ancient solution constructed by Perelman.
