Kähler-Ricci flow and the Poincaré-Lelong equation (Q707467)

Let \(M^{m}\) be a complete non-compact Kähler manifold and \(g( t) \), \(t\in [0,T],\) be a solution of the Kähler-Ricci flow \( ( \ast ) \)\ \({\partial \over \partial t}g_{a\overline{\beta } }=-R_{a\overline{\beta }}\). If \(u\) is a solution of the Poincaré-Lelong equation \(**\) \(\sqrt{-1}\partial \overline{\partial } u=\text{Ric}_{g( 0) }\), then one can construct a function \(u( x,t) \) which satisfies the time-dependent heat equation \(({\partial \over \partial t}-\Delta u)( x,t) =0\) and the time-dependent Poincaré-Lelong equation \(\sqrt{-1}\partial \overline{\partial } u= \text{Ric}_{g( t) }\) simultaneously. Using this hinge between the equations \(( \ast ) \) and \(( \ast \ast ) \), the authors give several applications. Some of them improve results of \textit{W.-X. Shi} [J. Geom. Anal. 8, No. 1, 117--142 (1998; Zbl 0931.53034)] and \textit{B. L. Chen} and \textit{X. P. Zhu} [Math. Ann. 327, No. 1, 1--23 (2003; Zbl 1034.32015)].
