Survey on Chern-Ricci flow for complex manifolds.

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

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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…

Flow smooths Chern-Ricci-flat metrics on Hermitian manifolds.

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.

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.

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…

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

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 …

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…

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

Regularities and stability shown for a specific type of complex parallelizable manifolds.

Survey on metrics on non-Kähler complex manifolds.

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 consider the evolution of a Hermitian metric on a compact complex manifold by its Chern-Ricci form. This is an evolution equation first studied by M. Gill, and coincides with the Kahler-Ricci flow if the initial metric is Kahler. We find the maximal existence time for the flow in terms of the initial data. We invest…

Solves long-time solutions for a specific equation on hyperkähler manifolds.

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…

The paper constructs flat metrics on orbifolds and resolutions.

We extend the continuity equation of La Nave-Tian to Hermitian metrics and establish its interval of maximal existence. The equation is closely related to the Chern-Ricci flow, and we illustrate this in the case of elliptic bundles over a curve of genus at least two.

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

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…

Over a compact oriented manifold, the space of Riemannian metrics and normalised positive volume forms admits a natural pseudo-Riemannian metric $G$, which is useful for the study of Perelman's $\mathcal{W}$ functional. We show that if the initial speed of a $G$-geodesic is $G$-orthogonal to the tangent space to the or…

Blowing up flat metrics yields balanced ones with constant curvature.

We study curvature flows in the locally homogeneous case (e.g. compact quotients of Lie groups, solvmanifolds, nilmanifolds) in a unified way, by considering a generic flow under just a few natural conditions on the broad class of almost-hermitian structures. As a main tool, we use an ODE system defined on the variety …
