A matrix Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate for Kähler-Ricci flow (Q877556): Difference between revisions

The authors prove the following differential Harnack inequality (called LYH-estimate here): \[ u_{\alpha\bar{\beta}} +(u/t)g_{\alpha\bar{\beta}} + uR_{\alpha\bar{\beta}} +u_\alpha V_{\bar{\beta}} + u_{\bar{\beta}}V_\alpha + uV_\alpha V_{\bar{\beta}} \geq 0\tag{1} \] for any (1,0) vector field on a Kähler manifold \(M\), where \(u\) is a positive solution to \((\partial / \partial t - \Delta - R)u(x,t) = 0\), \(R\) is the scalar curvature of \((M, g(t))\) and \(g(t)\) is the time dependent family of Kähler metrics on \(M\) evolving by the Kähler-Ricci flow. The paper contains several applications of the estimate (1.1). For example, it is shown that \[ K_{\mathcal V} (x,y,t)\leq (\pi t)^{m-s}H(x,y,t)\tag{2} \] for all \(x, y\) in \(\mathcal V\), provided \(M\) is a complete Kähler manifolds of non-negative bisectional curvature, \(\mathcal V\) is a complex subvariety of \(M\), \(m = \dim M\), \(s = \dim{\mathcal V}\), \(H\) and \(K_{\mathcal V}\) are the fundamental solutions of the heat equation on \(M\) and \(\mathcal V\), respectively. Moreover, equality in (1.2) implies that \(\mathcal V\) is totally geodesic. Definitely, the paper is more rich than one can expect reading just this short review.
