Abstract

We study the positive Hermitian curvature flow for left-invariant metrics on 22-step nilpotent Lie groups with a left-invariant complex structure JJ. We describe the long-time behavior of the flow under the assumption that J[g,g]J[\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{g}] is contained in the center of g\mathfrak{g}. We show that under our assumption the flow gtg_{t} exists for all positive tt and (G,(1+t)1gt)(G,(1+t)^{-1}g_{t}) converges, in the Cheeger-Gromov topology, to a 22-step nilpotent Lie group with a non flat semi-algebraic soliton. Moreover, we prove that, in our class of Lie groups, there exists at most one semi-algebraic soliton solution, up to homothety. Similar results were proved by M. Pujia and J. Stanfield for nilpotent complex Lie groups \cite{P2021, S2021}. In the last part of the paper we study the Hermitian curvature flow for the same class of Lie groups.
