We define and study the harmonic heat flow for almost complex structures which are compatible with a Riemannian structure $(M, g)$. This is a tensor-valued version of harmonic map heat flow. We prove that if the initial almost complex…

In this paper, we study the long-term behavior of the conical K\"ahler-Ricci flow on Fano manifold $M$. First, based on our work of locally uniform regularity for the twisted K\"ahler-Ricci flows, we obtain a long-time solution to the…

In this paper it is proven that the volume entropy of a riemannian metric evolving by the Ricci flow, if does not collapse, nondecreases. Therefore, it provides a sufficient condition for a solution to collapse. Then, for the limit…

We show the existence of a solution to the Ricci flow with a compact length space of bounded curvature, i.e., a space that has curvature bounded above and below in the sense of Alexandrov, as its initial condition. We show that this flow…

We investigate the Kahler-Ricci flow on holomorphic fiber spaces whose generic fiber is a Calabi-Yau manifold. We establish uniform metric convergence to a metric on the base, away from the singular fibers, and show that the rescaled…

On a polarized manifold $(X,L)$, the Bergman iteration $\phi_k^{(m)}$ is defined as a sequence of Bergman metrics on $L$ with two integer parameters $k, m$. We study the relation between the K\"ahler-Ricci flow $\phi_t$ at any time $t \geq…

In recent years, there are many progress made in K\"ahler geometry. In particular, the topics related to the problems of the existence and uniqueness of extremal K\"ahler metrics, as well as obstructions to the existence of such metrics in…

I present some applications of geometric flows in string theory and gravity. In some circumstances time evolution in string theory can be approximately identified with Ricci-flow parametric evolution of spatial sections. In four dimensions,…

We introduce a new entropy functional for nonnegative solutions of the heat equation on a manifold with time-dependent Riemannian metric. Under certain integral assumptions, we show that this entropy is non-decreasing, and moreover convex…

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…

We study the convergence of a modified Kaeher-Ricci flow defined by Zhou Zhang. We show that the flow converges to a singular metric when the limit class is degenerate. This proves a conjecture of Zhang.

We study Hermitian metrics with a Gauduchon connection being "K\"ahler-like", namely, satisfying the same symmetries for curvature as the Levi-Civita and Chern connections. In particular, we investigate $6$-dimensional solvmanifolds with…

We contribute to an original problem studied by Hamilton and others, in order to understand the behaviour of maximal solutions of the Ricci flow both in compact and non-compact complete orientable Riemannian manifolds of finite volume. The…

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…

We show pluriclosed flow preserves the Hermitian-symplectic structures. And we observe that it can actually become a flow of Hermitian-symplectic forms when an extra evolution equation determined by the Bismut-Ricci form is considered.…

We study Ricci flows on $R^n$, $n\ge 3$, that evolve from asymptotically flat initial data. Under mild conditions on the initial data, we show that the flow exists and remains asymptotically flat for an interval of time. The mass is…

We consider the K\"ahler-Ricci flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds with semiample canonical bundle and intermediate Kodaira dimension, and show that the flow collapses to a canonical metric on the base of the Iitaka fibration in the locally…

We first define Pseudo-Calabi flow, as {equation*} {{aligned}{{\partial \varphi}\over {\partial t}}&= -f(\varphi), \triangle_varphi f(\varphi) &= S(\varphi) - \ul S.{aligned}. \end{equation*} Then we prove the well-posedness of this flow…

In this work, we study the H\"older regularity of the K\"ahler- Ricci flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds with semi-ample canonical line bundle. By adapting the method in the work of Hein-Tosatti on collapsing Calabi-Yau metrics, we…

In this lecture notes, we aim at giving an introduction to the K\"ahler-Ricci flow (KRF) on Fano manifolds. It covers some of the developments of the KRF in its first twenty years (1984-2003), especially an essentially self-contained…
