We consider complete (possibly non-compact) three dimensional Riemannian manifolds (M,g) such that: a) (M,g) is non-collapsed, b) the Ricci curvature of (M,g) is bounded from below, c) the geometry of (M,g) at infinity is not too extreme.…

The aim of this paper is to give a proof the Frankel conjecture by using the Kahler Ricci flow alone without assuming apriori the existence of Kahler Einstein metrics. However, there is an essential difference between the real case and the…
