    K\"ahler Ricci flow with vanished Futaki invariant

    Full text link
    We study the convergence of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a compact K\"ahler manifold (M,J)(M,J) with positive first Chern class c1(M;J)c_1(M;J) and vanished Futaki invariant on Ο€c1(M;J)\pi c_1(M;J). As the application we establish a criterion for the stability of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow (with perturbed complex structure) around a K\"ahler-Einstein metric with positive scalar curvature, under certain local stable condition on the dimension of holomorphic vector fields. In particular this gives a stability theorem for the existence of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on a K\"ahler manifold with possibly nontrivial holomorphic vector fields.Comment: 23 pages; Remark 4.1 changed due to the comments of Valentino Tosatt

    Degeneration of K\"ahler-Ricci solitons

    Full text link
    Let (Y,d)(Y, d) be a Gromov-Hausdorff limit of nn-dimensional closed shrinking K\"ahler-Ricci solitons with uniformly bounded volumes and Futaki invariants. We prove that off a closed subset of codimension at least 4, Y is a smooth manifold satisfying a shrinking K\"ahler-Ricci soliton equation. A similar convergence result for K\"ahler-Ricci flow of positive first Chern class is also obtained.Comment: 24 page

    Convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on lower dimensional algebraic manifolds of general type

    Full text link
    In this paper, we prove that the L4L^4-norm of Ricci curvature is uniformly bounded along a K\"ahler-Ricci flow on any minimal algebraic manifold. As an application, we show that on any minimal algebraic manifold MM of general type and with dimension n≀3n\le 3, any solution of the normalized K\"ahler-Ricci flow converges to the unique singular K\"ahler-Einstein metric on the canonical model of MM in the Cheeger-Gromov topology

    Relative volume comparison of Ricci Flow and its applications

    Full text link
    In this paper, we derive a relative volume comparison estimate along Ricci flow and apply it to studying the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a minimal manifold. This new estimate generalizes Perelman's no local collapsing estimate and can be regarded as an analogue of the Bishop-Gromov volume comparison for Ricci flow.Comment: 28 pages; minor change in the proof of Lemma 3.

    Regularity of K\"ahler-Ricci flow

    Full text link
    In this short note we announce a regularity theorem for K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a compact Fano manifold (K\"ahler manifold with positive first Chern class) and its application to the limiting behavior of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on Fano 3-manifolds. Moreover, we also present a partial C0C^0 estimate to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow under the regularity assumption, which extends previous works on K\"ahler-Einstein metrics and shrinking K\"ahler-Ricci solitons (cf. \cite{Ti90}, \cite{DoSu12}, \cite{Ti12}, \cite{PSS12}). The detailed proof will appear in \cite{TiZh13}

    Regularity of K\"ahler-Ricci flows on Fano manifolds

    Full text link
    In this paper, we will establish a regularity theory for the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on Fano nn-manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded in LpL^p-norm for some p>np > n. Using this regularity theory, we will also solve a long-standing conjecture for dimension 3. As an application, we give a new proof of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for Fano 3-manifolds. The results have been announced in \cite{TiZh12b}.Comment: Proof of results announced in arXiv:1304.2651v

    Non-singular solutions to the normalized Ricci flow equation

    Full text link
    In this paper we study non-singular solutions of Ricci flow on a closed manifold of dimension at least 4. Amongst others we prove that, if M is a closed 4-manifold on which the normalized Ricci flow exists for all time t>0 with uniformly bounded sectional curvature, then the Euler characteristic Ο‡(M)β‰₯0\chi (M)\ge 0. Moreover, the 4-manifold satisfies one of the following \noindent (i) M is a shrinking Ricci solition; \noindent (ii) M admits a positive rank F-structure; \noindent (iii) the Hitchin-Thorpe type inequality holds 2\chi (M)\ge 3|\tau(M)| where Ο‡(M)\chi (M) (resp. Ο„(M)\tau(M)) is the Euler characteristic (resp. signature) of M.Comment: 23 page

    Non-singular solutions of normalized Ricci flow on noncompact manifolds of finite volume

    Full text link
    The main result of this paper shows that, if g(t)g(t) is a complete non-singular solution of the normalized Ricci flow on a noncompact 4-manifold MM of finite volume, then the Euler characteristic number Ο‡(M)β‰₯0\chi(M)\geq0. Moreover, Ο‡(M)β‰ 0\chi(M)\neq 0, there exist a sequence times tkβ†’βˆžt_k\to\infty, a double sequence of points {pk,l}l=1N\{p_{k,l}\}_{l=1}^{N} and domains {Uk,l}l=1N\{U_{k,l}\}_{l=1}^{N} with pk,l∈Uk,lp_{k,l}\in U_{k,l} satisfying the followings: [(i)] \dist_{g(t_k)}(p_{k,l_1},p_{k,l_2})\to\infty as kβ†’βˆžk\to\infty, for any fixed l1β‰ l2l_1\neq l_2; [(ii)] for each ll, (Uk,l,g(tk),pk,l)(U_{k,l},g(t_k),p_{k,l}) converges in the Cloc∞C_{loc}^\infty sense to a complete negative Einstein manifold (M∞,l,g∞,l,p∞,l)(M_{\infty,l},g_{\infty,l},p_{\infty,l}) when kβ†’βˆžk\to\infty; [(iii)] \Vol_{g(t_{k})}(M\backslash\bigcup_{l=1}^{N}U_{k,l})\to0 as kβ†’βˆžk\to\infty

    Supremum of Perelman's entropy and K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a Fano manifold

    Full text link
    In this paper, we extend the method in [TZhu5] to study the energy level L(β‹…)L(\cdot) of Perelman's entropy Ξ»(β‹…)\lambda(\cdot) for K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a Fano manifold. Consequently, we first compute the supremum of Ξ»(β‹…)\lambda(\cdot) in K\"ahler class 2Ο€c1(M)2\pi c_1(M) under an assumption that the modified Mabuchi's K-energy ΞΌ(β‹…)\mu(\cdot) defined in [TZhu2] is bounded from below. Secondly, we give an alternative proof to the main theorem about the convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow in [TZhu3].Comment: 28 page
