Hermitian metrics with zero second Chern Ricci curvature are rigid and exist on specific manifolds.

Study shows uniform bounds on torsion and curvature for Chern-Ricci flow solutions.

Compact Kähler manifolds with positive curvature are projective and rationally connected.

Assuming local uniform bounds on the metric for a solution of the Chern-Ricci flow, we establish local Calabi and curvature estimates using the maximum principle.

Study finds criteria for surfaces with specific curvature properties.

In this note, we show that on Hopf manifold $\mathbb S^{2n-1}\times \mathbb S^1$, the non-negativity of the holomorphic bisectional curvature is not preserved along the Chern-Ricci flow.

Blowing up flat metrics yields balanced ones with constant curvature.

In this note we study finite-time singularities in the Chern-Ricci flow. We show that finite-time singularities are characterized by the blow-up of the scalar curvature of the Chern connection.

In this work, we show that along a particular choice of Hermitian curvature flow, the non-positivity of Chern-Ricci curvature will be preserved if the initial metric has non-positive bisectional curvature. As an application, we show that the canonical line bundle of a compact Hermitian manifold with nonpositive bisecti…

We present some formulae related to the Chern-Ricci curvatures and scalar curvatures of special Hermitian metrics. We prove that a compact locally conformal Kähler manifold with constant nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature is Kähler. We also give examples of complete non-Kähler metrics with pointwise negative c…

Study deforms Hermitian metrics with positive curvature.

We construct the first and second Chern-Ricci functions on negatively curved minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}}^{3}$ using Gauss curvature and angle functions, and establish that they become harmonic functions on the minimal surfaces. We prove that a minimal surface has constant first Chern-Ricci function if and only if…

In this work, we obtain existence criteria for Chern-Ricci flows on noncompact manifolds. We generalize a result by Tossati-Wienkove on Chern-Ricci flows to noncompact manifolds and at the same time generalize a result for Kahler-Ricci flows by Lott-Zhang to Chern-Ricci flows. Using the existence results, we prove that…

The paper explores mixed curvature for Hermitian manifolds and its implications.

We study the almost Kaehler geometry of adjoint orbits of non-compact real semisimple Lie groups endowed with the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau symplectic form and a canonically defined almost complex structure. We give explicit formulas for the Chern-Ricci form, the Hermitian scalar curvature and the Nijenhuis tensor in te…

Survey on Chern-Ricci flow for complex manifolds.

Uniform estimates lead to Gromov-Hausdorff limits for Hermitian minimal models.

The paper constructs flat metrics on orbifolds and resolutions.

The study proves leafwise flat forms for Gauduchon metrics on Inoue-Bombieri surfaces.

We prove that on any compact complex manifold one can find Gauduchon metrics with prescribed volume form. This is equivalent to prescribing the Chern-Ricci curvature of the metrics, and thus solves a conjecture of Gauduchon from 1984.

The Chern-Ricci flow is an evolution equation of Hermitian metrics by their Chern-Ricci form, first introduced by Gill. Building on our previous work, we investigate this flow on complex surfaces. We establish new estimates in the case of finite time non-collapsing, anologous to some known results for the Kahler-Ricci …

Study on singularities of Chern-Ricci flow on complex manifolds.

This paper is concerned with Chern-Ricci flow evolution of left-invariant hermitian structures on Lie groups. We study the behavior of a solution, as t is approaching the first time singularity, by rescaling in order to prevent collapsing and obtain convergence in the pointed (or Cheeger-Gromov) sense to a Chern-Ricci …

Study of $t$-Gauduchon Ricci-flat condition under Chern-Ricci flow on non-Kähler manifolds.

Derivative estimates for pluriclosed flow control curvature and torsion.

In this work, we obtain some existence results of Chern-Ricci Flows and the corresponding Potential Flows on complex manifolds with possibly incomplete initial data. We discuss the behaviour of the solution as $t\rightarrow 0$. These results can be viewed as generalization of an existence result by Giesen and Topping f…

In this note, we prove the existence of weak solutions of the Chern-Ricci flow through blow downs of exceptional curves, as well as backwards smooth convergence away from the exceptional curves on compact complex surfaces. The smoothing property for the Chern-Ricci flow is also obtained on compact Hermitian manifolds o…

We introduce transverse Chern-Ricci flow for transversely Hermitian foliations, which is analogous to the Chern-Ricci flow. We show that when $\mathcal{F}$ is homologically orientable and the basic first Bott-Chern class is zero, starting at any transversely Hermitian metric the flow exists for all time and as $t\right…

New metrics solve complex equations on special 3D shapes.

We prove that a general complex Monge-Ampère flow on a Hermitian manifold can be run from an arbitrary initial condition with zero Lelong number at all points. Using this property, we confirm a conjecture of Tosatti-Weinkove: the Chern-Ricci flow performs a canonical surgical contraction. Finally, we study a generaliza…

Uniform estimates for complex Monge-Ampère equations on hermitian varieties.

We show that on a smooth Hermitian minimal model of general type the Chern-Ricci flow converges to a closed positive current on M. Moreover, the flow converges smoothly to a Kahler-Einstein metric on compact sets away from the null locus of K_M. This generalizes work of Tsuji and Tian-Zhang to Hermitian manifolds, prov…

Uniform estimates prove convergence of Chern-Ricci flow on complex surfaces.

We consider the evolution of an almost Hermitian metric by the $(1,1)$ part of its Chern-Ricci form on almost complex manifolds. This is an evolution equation first studied by Chu and coincides with the Chern-Ricci flow if the complex structure is integrable and with the Kähler-Ricci flow if moreover the initial metric…

New bounds for geometric flows of Hermitian metrics established.

In this paper, we study how the notions of geometric formality according to Kotschick and other geometric formalities adapted to the Hermitian setting evolve under the action of the Chern-Ricci flow on class VII surfaces, including Hopf and Inoue surfaces, and on Kodaira surfaces.

The paper studies constant $k$th-mixed curvature on Hermitian manifolds and finds self-duality and Kähler conditions.

We investigate the Chern-Ricci flow, an evolution equation of Hermitian metrics, on Inoue surfaces. These are non-Kahler compact complex surfaces of type Class VII. We show that, after an initial conformal change, the flow always collapses the Inoue surface to a circle at infinite time, in the sense of Gromov-Hausdorff…

We investigate the Chern-Ricci flow, an evolution equation of Hermitian metrics generalizing the Kahler-Ricci flow, on elliptic bundles over a Riemann surface of genus greater than one. We show that, starting at any Gauduchon metric, the flow collapses the elliptic fibers and the metrics converge to the pullback of a K…

The Hopf surfaces provide a family of minimal non-Kähler surfaces of class VII on which little is known about the Chern-Ricci flow. We use a construction of Gauduchon-Ornea for locally conformally Kähler metrics on primary Hopf surfaces of class 1 to study solutions of the Chern-Ricci flow. These solutions reach a volu…

New metrics found on non-Kähler Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Defines and studies solutions to complex equations on Hermitian manifolds.

The paper calculates the Chern-Ricci form for a twisted almost Kähler structure.

We study the Chern-Ricci flow, an evolution equation of Hermitian metrics, on a family of Oeljeklaus-Toma (OT-) manifolds which are non-Kähler compact complex manifolds with negative Kodaira dimension. We prove that, after an initial conformal change, the flow converges, in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense, to a torus with a…
