Abstract
We study the Ricci flow on R4 starting at an SU(2)-cohomogeneity 1 metric g0 whose restriction to any hypersphere is a Berger metric. We prove that if g0 has no necks and is bounded by a cylinder, then the solution develops a global Type-II singularity and converges to the Bryant soliton when suitably dilated at the origin. This is the first example in dimension n>3 of a non-rotationally symmetric Type-II flow converging to a rotationally symmetric singularity model. Next, we show that if instead g0 has no necks, its curvature decays and the Hopf fibres are not collapsed, then the solution is immortal. Finally, we prove that if the flow is Type-I, then there exist minimal 3-spheres for times close to the maximal time.
