Let \((M,g)\) be an \(n\)-dimensional Kähler manifold. A 1-parameter family \(g_t\) of Kähler metrics on \(M\) is said to obey the Kähler-Ricci flow equation with initial value \(g\) if \[ {dg_t \over dt} = - \text{Ric}_{g_t} + \rho g_t, \qquad g_0 = g, \] where \(\rho\) is some fixed constant. The stationary solutions are Kähler-Einstein metrics with scalar curvature \(\rho/n\). The author shows the following stability result for non-compact manifolds: Theorem. Let \((M,g)\) be a complete non-compact Kähler-Einstein manifold with bounded sectional curvature and scalar curvature \(\rho/n\). Let \(u\) be a smooth bounded function on \(M\) such that \(\hat g := g+ \partial_i \partial_{\bar j}u\,dz^i dz^{\bar j}\) defines a Kähler metric on \(M\), equivalent to \(g\), with bounded sectional curvature. Then the Kähler Ricci flow equation has a long time smooth solution with initial value \(\hat g\). Moreover, the solution converges on every compact set in \(M\) to \(g\) as \(t\to\infty\). To show this the author translates the Kähler-Ricci flow equation into a Monge-Ampère equation for \(u\) and then proves the necessary a priori estimates.
