On a modified parabolic complex Monge-Ampère equation with applications (Q658342)

First, the authors prove a short time existence result for a modified parabolic complex Monge--Ampère type equation on a complete non-compact Kähler manifold. Then, they prove that under suitable conditions on a real and (1,1) form \(F\) and initial metric \(g _{0}\), the modified Kähler--Ricci flow \(g' = - {\text{Ric}} + F\) has a long time solution that converges to a complete Kähler metric such that \({\text{Ric}} = F\). This is an extension of the result of \textit{H.-D. Cao} (cf. [Invent. Math. 81, 359--372 (1985; Zbl 0574.53042)]).
