Abstract
Given a symplectic class on a four torus (or a surface), a folklore problem in symplectic geometry is whether symplectic forms in are isotropic to each other. We introduce a family of nonlinear Hodge heat flows on compact symplectic four manifolds to approach this problem, which is an adaption of nonlinear Hodge theory in symplectic geometry. As a particular example, we study a conformal Hodge heat flow in detail. We prove a stability result of the flow near an almost Kahler structure . We also prove that, if stays bounded along the flow, then the flow exists for all time for any initial symplectic form and it converges to smoothly along the flow with uniform control, where is the volume potential of .
