Abstract

We produce longtime solutions to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow for complete K\"ahler metrics on Cn\Bbb C ^n without assuming the initial metric has bounded curvature, thus extending results in [3]. We prove the existence of a longtime bounded curvature solution emerging from any complete U(n)U(n)-invariant K\"ahler metric with non-negative holomorphic bisectional curvature, and that the solution converges as tt\to \infty to the standard Euclidean metric after rescaling. We also prove longtime existence results for more general K\"ahler metrics on Cn\Bbb C ^n which are not necessarily U(n)U(n)-invariant.
