Let \((M,g_0)\) be a closed \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold. This paper deals with curves of metrics conformally equivalent to \(g_0\), \(\widetilde g_t= e^{2 \lambda (\cdot,t)} g_0\) where \(\lambda: M\times [0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}\) is smooth, satisfying \[ \begin{cases} {\partial \lambda \over \partial t} =\Delta_tR_t, \\ \int_M e^{n\lambda (x,0)} d\mu_0 (x)= \int_Md \mu_0(x),\end{cases} \] where \(\Delta_t\) is the Laplace operator for the metric \(\widetilde g_t\), \(R_t\) is its scalar curvature, and \(d\mu_0\) is the volume element of \(g_0\). The result of the paper says that if \(g_0\) is Einstein and if such a solution exists on \(M\times [0,\infty)\), then it converges smoothly to a unique limit Einstein metric at exponential rate as \(t\to\infty\).
