Deforming symplectomorphisms of complex projective spaces by the mean curvature flow (Q549094): Difference between revisions

Let \(\omega\) denote the Fubini-Studi form on \(\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^n\) and let \(\Lambda> 1\) be a constant. A symplectomorphism \(f\) of \(\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^n\) is said to be \(\Lambda\)-pinched if for the canonical metric \(g(\cdot,\cdot)= \omega(I(\cdot),\cdot)\) one has \[ {1\over\Lambda^2} g\leq f^* g\leq\Lambda^2 g.\tag{1} \] The main result of the paper is the following Theorem 1. For each positive integer \(n\) there exists a constant \(\Lambda(n)> 1\) such that if \(f\) is a \(\Lambda\)-pinched symplectomorphism of \(\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^n\) for \(1<\Lambda< \Lambda(n)\) then: 1) The mean curvature flow \(\Sigma_t\) of the graph \(\Sigma\) of \(f\) in \(\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^n\times\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^n\) exists smoothly for all \(t\geq 0\). 2) \(\Sigma_t\) is a graph of a symplectomorphism \(f_t\) for every \(t\geq 0\), \(\Sigma_0= \Sigma\). 3) \(f_t\) converges smoothly to a biholomorphic isometry of \(\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^n\) as \(t\to+\infty\).
