Abstract

We consider the K\"ahler-Ricci flow tgijˉ=gijˉRijˉ\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g_{i\bar{j}} = g_{i\bar{j}} - R_{i\bar{j}} on a compact K\"ahler manifold MM with c1(M)>0c_1(M) > 0, of complex dimension kk. We prove the ϵ\epsilon-regularity lemma for the K\"ahler-Ricci flow, based on Moser's iteration. Assume that the Ricci curvature and M\remkdVt\int_M |\rem|^k dV_t are uniformly bounded along the flow. Using the ϵ\epsilon-regularity lemma we derive the compactness result for the K\"ahler-Ricci flow. Under our assumptions, if k3k \ge 3 in addition, using the compactness result we show that \remC|\rem| \le C holds uniformly along the flow. This means the flow does not develop any singularities at infinity. We use some ideas of Tian from \cite{Ti} to prove the smoothing property in that case.
