In this paper, we prove that any solution of K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a Fano compactification $M$ of semisimple complex Lie group, is of type II, if $M$ admits no K\"ahler-Einstein metrics. As an application, we found two Fano…

We present two new conditions to extend the Ricci flow on a compact manifold over a finite time, which are improvements of some known extension theorems.

These lecture notes are written for a PhD mini-course I gave at the CIRM in Luminy in 2019. Their intended purpose was to present, in the context of smooth toric varieties, a relatively self-contained and elementary introduction to the…

We study the blowup behavior at infinity of the normalized Kahler-Ricci flow on a Fano manifold which does not admit Kahler-Einstein metrics. We prove an estimate for the Kahler potential away from a multiplier ideal subscheme, which…

We study the behavior of the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on compact manifolds developing finite-time singularities, in particular, when the flow contracts exceptional divisors or collapses the Fano fibers of a holomorphic fiber bundle. We present a…

In this paper, we study the backward Ricci flow on locally homogeneous 3-manifolds. We describe the long time behavior and show that, typically and after a proper re-scaling, there is convergence to a sub-Riemannian geometry. A similar…

The present notes provide an extended version of a small lecture course given at the Humboldt Universit\"at zu Berlin in the Winter Term 2022/23 (of 36 hours). The material starting in Section 5.4 was added afterwards. The aim of these…

In this Note we introduce and study dynamical systems related to the Ricci operator on the space of Kahler metrics as discretizations of certain geometric flows. We pose a conjecture on their convergence towards canonical Kahler metrics and…

In this paper, we introduce a new parabolic equation on K\"ahler manifolds. The static point of this flow is related to the existence of a lower bound of the Mabuchi energy. In this paper, we prove the flow always exists for all times for…

It is well known that the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on a K\"ahler manifold $X$ admits a long-time solution if and only if $X$ is a minimal model, i.e., the canonical line bundle $K_X$ is nef. The abundance conjecture in algebraic geometry…

On a Fano manifold, we prove that the Kahler-Ricci flow starting from a Kahler metric in the anti-canonical class which is sufficiently close to a Kahler-Einstein metric must converge in a polynomial rate to a Kahler-Einstein metric. The…

It is observed that for complex surfaces, the positivity of the Ricci curvature is preserved by the K\"ahler-Ricci flow, under the additional assumption that the sum of the two lowest eigenvalues of the traceless curvature operator is…
