摘要:In this lecture, we will simplify earlier proofs of Perelman's collapsing theorem for 3-manifolds given by Shioya-Yamaguchi and Morgan-Tian. A version of Perelman's collapsing theorem states: ``A sufficiently collapsing 3-manifold with curvature bounded below is a graph-manifold". This result can be viewed as an extension of the implicit function theorem. Among other things, we use Perelman's critical point theory of Alexandrov spaces to construct the desired local Seifert fibration structure on sufficiently collapsed 3-manifolds. The verification of Perelman's collapsing theorem is the last step of Perelman's proof of Thurston's Geometrization Conjecture on the classification of 3-manifolds. A version of Geometrization Conjecture asserts that any closed 3-manifold admits a piecewise locally homogeneous metric.
