Stability of the Almost Hermitian Curvature Flow

Abstract

The Almost Hermitian Curvature flow was introduced by Streets and Tian in order to study almost hermitian structures, with a particular interest in symplectic structures. This flow is given by a diffusion-reaction equation. Hence it is natural to ask the following: which almost hermitian structures are dynamically stable? An almost hermitian structure (ω,J)(\omega,J) is dynamically stable if it is a fixed point of the flow and there exists a neighborhood N\mathcal{N} of (ω,J)(\omega,J) such that for any almost hermitian structure (ω(0),J(0))N(\omega(0),J(0)) \in \mathcal{N} the solution of the Almost Hermitian Curvature flow starting at (ω(0),J(0))(\omega(0),J(0)) exists for all time and converges to a fixed point of the flow. We prove that on a closed K\"{a}hler-Einstein manifold (M,ω,J)(M,\omega,J) such that either c1(J)<0c_1(J) <0 or (M,ω,J)(M,\omega,J) is a Calabi-Yau manifold, then the K\"{a}hler-Einstein structure (ω,J)(\omega,J) is dynamically stable.
