We study the Ricci flow on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, with $n\geq 2$, starting at some complete bounded curvature rotationally symmetric metric $g_{0}$. We first focus on the case where $(\mathbb{R}^{n+1},g_{0})$ does not contain minimal…

S. K. Donaldson asked whether the lower bound of the Calabi functional is achieved by a sequence the normalized Donaldson-Futaki invariants. We answer the question for the Ricci curvature formalism, in place of the scalar curvature. The…

In this paper, we derive a relative volume comparison estimate along Ricci flow and apply it to studying the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a minimal manifold. This new estimate generalizes Perelman's no local…

We study the long time behavior of the Hesse-Koszul flow on compact Hessian manifolds. When the first affine Chern class is negative, we prove that the flow converges to the unique Hesse-Einstein metric. We also derive a convergence result…

In this paper, we study the $t$-Gauduchon Ricci-flat condition under the Chern-Ricci flow. In this setting, we provide examples of Chern-Ricci flow on compact non-K\"ahler Calabi-Yau manifolds which do not preserve the $t$-Gauduchon…

Suppose $(X,\omega)$ is a compact K\"ahler manifold. We introduce and explore the metric geometry of the $L^{p,q}$-Calabi Finsler structure on the space of K\"ahler metrics $\mathcal H$. After noticing that the $L^{p,q}$-Calabi and…

This paper investigates the twisted Calabi functional and the associated twisted Calabi flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Our main contributions are threefold: first, we establish the convexity of the twisted Calabi functional at its…

In this short paper, we show that K\"ahler-Ricci flows over closed manifolds would have scalar curvature blown-up for finite time singularity. Certain control of the blowing-up is achieved with some mild assumption.

We show that any tangent cone of a singular shrinking K\"ahler-Ricci soliton is a normal affine algebraic variety. Moreover, the regular set of such a tangent cone in the metric sense coincides with the regular set in the algebraic sense.…

In this paper, by limiting twisted conical K\"ahler-Ricci flows, we prove the long-time existence and uniqueness of cusp K\"ahler-Ricci flow on compact K\"ahler manifold $M$ which carries a smooth hypersurface $D$ such that the twisted…

We provide a quick overview of various calculus tools and of the main results concerning the heat flow on compact metric measure spaces, with applications to spaces with lower Ricci curvature bounds. Topics include the Hopf-Lax semigroup…

We prove that on a K\"ahler manifold admitting an extremal metric $\omega$ and for any K\"ahler potential $\varphi_0$ close to $\omega$, the Calabi flow starting at $\varphi_0$ exists for all time and the modified Calabi flow starting at…

In this paper, we give an alternative proof for the convergence of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a Fano mnaifold $(M,J)$. This proof differs from that in [TZ3]. Moreover, we generalize the main theorem of [TZ3] to the case that $(M,J)$ may not…

We show that the twisted K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a complex manifold X converges to a flow of moving free boundaries, in a certain scaling limit. This leads to a new phenomenon of singularity formation and topology change which can be seen as…

On certain del Pezzo surfaces with large automorphism groups, it is shown that the solution to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow with a certain initial value converges in $C^\infty$-norm exponentially fast to a K\"ahler-Einstein metric. The proof is…

For the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a compact K\"ahler manifold with semi-ample canonical line bundle, we prove the singularity type at infinity does not depend on the choice of the initial metric. We also provide new simple proofs for some…

Calabi--Hirzebruch manifolds are higher-dimensional generalizations of both the football and Hirzebruch surfaces. We construct a family of Kahler--Einstein edge metrics singular along two disjoint divisors on the Calabi--Hirzebruch…

Hamilton's pinching conjecture, that three-dimensional complete non-compact manifolds with pinched Ricci curvature are flat, has recently been resolved using Ricci flow. In this paper we prove a direct analogue of that result in all…

In our previous paper math.DG/0010008, we develop some new techniques in attacking the convergence problems for the K\"ahler Ricci flow. The one of main ideas is to find a set of new functionals on curvature tensors such that the Ricci flow…
