Abstract: Let overlineM be a compact complex manifold with smooth K"ahler metric eta, and let D be a smooth divisor on overlineM. Let M=overlineMsetminusD and let hatomega be a Carlson-Griffiths type metric on M. We study complete solutions to K"ahler-Ricci flow on M which are comparable to hatomega, starting from a smooth initial metric where phi0inCinfty(M). When omega0geqchatomega on M for some c>0 and phi0 has zero Lelong number, we construct a smooth solution omega(t) to K"ahler-Ricci flow on Mimes[0,T[omega0]) where T[omega0]:=supT:[eta]+T(c1(KoverlineM)+c1(mathcalOD))inmathcalKM so that omega(t)geq(frac1n−frac4hatKtc)hatomega for all tleqfracc4nhatK where hatK is a non-negative upper bound on the bisectional curvatures of hatomega (see Theorem 1.2). In particular, we do not assume omega0 has bounded curvature. If omega0 has bounded curvature and is asymptotic to hatomega in an appropriate sense, we construct a complete bounded curvature solution on Mimes[0,T[omega0]) (see Theorem 1.3). These generalize some of the results of Lott-Zhang in [15]. On the other hand if we only assume omega0geqceta on M for some c>0 and phi0 is bounded on M, we construct a smooth solution to K"ahler-Ricci on Mimes[0,T[omega0]) which is equivalent to hatomega for all positive times. This includes as a special case when omega0 is smooth on overlineM in which case the solution becomes instantaneously complete on M under K"ahler-Ricci flow (see Theorem 1.1).


In this technical paper the authors study the Kähler Ricci-flow on non-compact Kähler manifolds and establish existence, uniqueness and regularity results in various situations. More precisely, let \(\overline{M}\) be a compact Kähler manifold with a smooth Kähler metric \(\eta\). Take a smooth divisor \(D\subset\overline{M}\) and put \(M:=\overline{M}\setminus D\). Let \(\omega (t)\) be a \(1\)-parameter family of Kähler metrics on \(M\) subject to the Kähler Ricci-flow initial value problem \[ \begin{cases} \frac{\partial\omega (t)}{\partial t}=-\mathrm{Ric}(\omega (t))\\ \omega (0)=\eta +\mathbf{i}\partial\overline{\partial}\phi_0 \end{cases} \] where \(\phi_0\) is a plurisubharmonic function on \(\overline{M}\) relative to \(\eta\). The authors are interested in, upon making various regularity assumptions on \(\varphi_0\), finding unique smooth solutions which exist for some finite time and in describing complete Kähler metrics \(\omega (t)\) with bounded curvature on \(M\), or more precisely: metrics comparable with a fixed Carlson-Griffiths type metric \(\hat{\omega}\) on \(M\) (see Theorems 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 in the article). To achieve this they study a Monge-Ampère equation associated to the Kähler Ricci-flow initial value problem.
