abstract
We prove long-time existence of the Ricci flow starting from complete manifolds with bounded curvature and scale-invariant integral curvature sufficiently pinched with respect to the inverse of its Sobolev constant. Moreover, if the curvature is sub-critical $L^p$-integrable, this flow converges locally smoothly to a limiting metric $g(\infty)$ on $M$ with $(M,g(\infty))$ isometric to the standard flat $\mathbb{R}^n$, which implies topological rigidity of $M$. This generalizes work of Chen \cite{ChenEric}, who proved analogous results for asymptotically flat manifolds. We also prove a long-time Ricci flow existence (and likewise topological rigidity) result for unbounded curvature initial data, assuming the initial data is a locally smooth limit of bounded curvature manifolds as described above.

Local mollification of metrics with small curvature concentration
Metrics with small scale-invariant curvature concentration can be locally smoothed by Ricci flow using only Sobolev and volume-growth controls, yielding compactness and Euclidean-diffeomorphism results.

A note on a diffeomorphism criterion via long-time Ricci flow
A long-time Ricci flow with Ric ≥ -ψ/t and sufficiently large injectivity radius forces the manifold to be diffeomorphic to R^n, improving dimension-4 small-curvature-concentration results.
