Abstract
By exploiting Perelman's pseudolocality theorem, we prove a new compactness theorem for Ricci flows. By optimising the theory in the two-dimensional case, and invoking the theory of quasiconformal maps, we establish a new existence theorem which generates a Ricci flow starting at an arbitrary incomplete metric, with Gauss curvature bounded above, on an arbitrary surface. The criterion we assert for well-posedness is that the flow should be complete for all positive times; our discussion of uniqueness also invokes pseudolocality.
