Kähler-Ricci flow on rational homogeneous varieties (Q6155805)

In this paper, the Kähler-Ricci flow on varieties of the form \(G^{\mathbb{C}}/P\) (rational homogeneous varieties) is considered starting from a homogeneous metric. Analytically, the problem has an explicit linear solution \(\omega(t)=\omega_0-t \mathrm{Ric}(\omega_0)\). The goals however are to study the maximal time of existence, curvature estimates, the boundedness or lack thereof of the diameter, etc. Theorem A addresses these questions. In particular, the Myers' theorem combined with Theorem A shows that the diameter is bounded above, thus providing evidence for a well-known conjecture. If the initial Kähler class arises from a divisor, Corollary B provides various relationships between the differential-geometric and algebro-geometric aspects of the divisor. The proof hinges on an explicit basis of the Kähler cone arising from Lie theory (and results of \textit{H. Azad} and \textit{I. Biswas} [J. Algebra 269, No. 2, 480--491 (2003; Zbl 1042.53047)]).
