Abstract: In this work, we obtain a existence criteria for the longtime K"ahler Ricci flow solution. Using the existence result, we generalize a result by Wu-Yau on the existence of K"ahler Einstein metric to the case with possibly unbounded curvature. Moreover, the K"ahler Einstein metric with negative scalar curvture must be unique up to scaling.


The authors provide an intricate analysis of the Kähler-Ricci flow on noncompact Kähler manifolds. They build upon previous work, focusing on the long-time behavior of the flow, especially concerning its convergence to Kähler-Einstein metrics with negative scalar curvature. Their main contributions, Theorems 1.1 and 1.2, elucidate conditions under which a Kähler manifold, equipped with specific metrics having particular curvature and torsion properties, allows for a long-time solution to the flow. Notably, Theorem 1.1 establishes that under a constraint on the holomorphic sectional curvature \(H_h\) and the torsion \(\hat{T}\), the normalized Kähler-Ricci flow converges to the unique Kähler-Einstein metric. Theorem 1.2 then furnishes conditions on the initial metric, its associated Hermitian structure, and its curvature bounds to ensure the existence of a complete solution to the flow. When contextualized with prior results, such as those from [\textit{D. Wu} and \textit{S.-T. Yau}, J. Am. Math. Soc. 33, No. 1, 103--133 (2020; Zbl 1509.32007)], this paper presents a significant refinement and generalization in understanding the long-time existence of Kähler-Ricci flows on noncompact manifolds.
