Abstract

We consider an evolution problem associated to the Kazdan-Warner equation on a closed Riemann surface (Σ,g)(\Sigma,g) \begin{align*} -\Delta_{g}u=8\pi\left(\frac{he^{u}}{\int_{\Sigma}he^{u}{\rm d}\mu_{g}}-\frac{1}{\int_{\Sigma}{\rm d}\mu_{g}}\right) \end{align*} where the prescribed function h0h\geq0 and maxΣh>0\max_{\Sigma}h>0. We prove the global existence and convergence under additional assumptions such as \begin{align*} \Delta_{g}\ln h(p_0)+8\pi-2K(p_0)>0 \end{align*} for any maximum point p0p_0 of the sum of 2lnh2\ln h and the regular part of the Green function, where KK is the Gaussian curvature of Σ\Sigma. In particular, this gives a new proof of the existence result by Yang and Zhu [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 145 (2017), no. 9, 3953-3959] which generalizes existence result of Ding, Jost, Li and Wang [Asian J. Math. 1 (1997), no. 2, 230-248] to the non-negative prescribed function case.
