We show that on smooth minimal surfaces of general type, the K\"ahler-Ricci flow starting at any initial K\"ahler metric converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a K\"ahler-Einstein orbifold surface. In particular, the diameter of the…

We introduce a flow of maps from a compact surface of arbitrary genus to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold which has elements in common with both the harmonic map flow and the mean curvature flow, but is more effective at finding minimal…

We establish the existence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on pseudoconvex domains with general initial metric without curvature bounds. Moreover we prove that this flow is simultaneously complete, and its normalized version converge to the complete…
