3. TYPE I SOLUTIONS HAVE SHRINKER SINGULARITY MODELS 155
PROPOSITION 30.19 (Limits of Type I solutions with fixed basepoints are (pos-
sibly flat) shrinkers). L et (Mn,g (t)), t E [0,w), be a Type I singular solution
on a closed manifold. Then for any p E M and for any Ai --+ oo, the limit
(M~, g= (t) ,p 00 ) in (30.85) with Pi= pis a complete shrinking GRS with bounded
curvature.
PROOF. First let Pi EM be any sequence. By Corollary 30.11, for each i there
exists a reduced distance function e~,,w and the reduced volume
Vl,,w (t) ~JM (47r (w - t))-n/2 e-e~,,w(x,t)dμg(t) (x)
based at the singular time for the original solution g ( t), t E [O, w). By Corollary
30.14(1)- (2), we have that
(30.87)
d - -
dt Vl,,w (t) ;::: 0 and Vl,,w (t) ::::; l.
The reduced distance function £i ~ e~:,o and the reduced volume i/i ~ v::,o
based at the singular time for the rescaled solution gi (t), t E [-.Aiw, 0), are related
to e~,,w and iit,,w by
(30.88)
and
(30.89)
respectively.
Vi (t) = Vl,,w (w + >-i^1 t),
Now Proposition 30.18 implies that each £i is locally bounded and locally Lip-
schitz, uniformly in i. Hence, from the Arzela- Ascoli theorem, by passing to a
subsequence we have that
exists and is locally Lipschitz on M 00 x (-oo, 0), where the <I>i are as in (30.86).
By (30.88) and (30.70), we h ave that
d~(w+.Xilt) (<T>i (q) ,pi) Cd~(w+..Xi't) (<I>i (q) , pi)

Since Ai;g (w + >-;^1 t)--+ g 00 (t) and since i (Poo) =Pi, we obtain

where the constant CE [1, oo) is the same as in (30.90).
Now let Pi = p for all i. Then , by (30.89) and (30.87), for any fixed t E (-oo, 0)
and for i large enough,

is defined and nondecreasing in i. Define the reduced volume corresponding to £ 00
by
v= (t) ~ { (-47rt)-n; 2 e-e=<x,t)dμgoo(t) (x)
}Moo
for t E (-oo, 0). Similarly to the proof of Claim 1 in the proof of Theorem
30.13(2), we have on compact time intervals that the reduced volume integrands
