The global existence and convergence of the Calabi flow on \(\mathbb C^{n}/\mathbb Z^{n}+i \mathbb Z^{n}\) (Q444897): Difference between revisions

The authors study the long time existence of the Calabi flow on \(X = {\mathbb C}^n/{\mathbb Z}^n + i {\mathbb Z}^n\). The Calabi flow is a fourth-order nonlinear parabolic flow for Kähler metrics on a compact Kähler manifold, introduced by \textit{E. Calabi} [Ann. Math. Stud. 102, 259--290 (1982; Zbl 0487.53057)]. Assuming the uniform bound of the total energy, they show the non-collapsing property of the Calabi flow by using Donaldson's extimates and Streets'regularity theorem. They prove that the curvature is uniformly bounded along the Calabi flow on \(X\) for dimension \(2\), partially confirming Chen's conjecture [\textit{X. Chen} and \textit{W. He}, Math. Res. Lett. 17, No. 2, 231--241 (2010; Zbl 1221.53103)]. Moreover, they show that, if the curvature is uniformly bounded, then the Calabi flow exponentially converges to the Kähler flat metric for arbitrary dimension, partially confirming \textit{S. K. Donaldson}'s conjecture [J. Differ. Geom. 70, No. 3, 453--472 (2005; Zbl 1149.53042)].
