文摘Assume M is a closed 3-manifold whose universal covering is not S^3.We show that the obstruction to extend the Ricci flow is the boundedness L 3/2-norm of the scalar curvature R(t),i.e.,the Ricci flow can be extended over finite time T if and only if the||R(t)||L 3/2 is uniformly bounded for 0≤t<T.On the other hand,if the fundamental group of M is finite and the||R(t)||L 3/2 is bounded for all time under the Ricci flow,then M is diffeomorphic to a 3-dimensional spherical space-form.
