Abstract
Let (M,g0) be a compact n–dimensional Riemannian manifold with a finite number of singular points, where the metric is asymptotic to a nonnegatively curved cone over (Sn−1,g). We show that there exists a smooth Ricci flow starting from such a metric with curvature decaying like C∕t. The initial metric is attained in Gromov–Hausdorff distance and smoothly away from the singular points. In the case that the initial manifold has isolated singularities asymptotic to a nonnegatively curved cone over (Sn−1/Γ,g), where Γ acts freely and properly discontinuously, we extend the above result by showing that starting from such an initial condition there exists a smooth Ricci flow with isolated orbifold singularities.
