Abstract: In this paper, we prove that on a Fano manifold $M$ which admits a K"ahler-Ricci soliton $(om,X)$, if the initial K"ahler metric $o{m}_{vph{i}_0}$ is close to $om$ in some weak sense, then the weak K"ahler-Ricci flow exists globally and converges in Cheeger-Gromov sense. Moreover, if $vph{i}_0$ is also $K_X$-invariant, then the weak modified K"ahler-Ricci flow converges exponentially to a unique K"ahler-Ricci soliton nearby. Especially, if the Futaki invariant vanishes, we may delete the $K_X$-invariant assumption. The methods based on the metric geometry of the space of the K"ahler metrics are potentially applicable to other stability problem of geometric flow near a critical metric.

Review text

The paper under review studies stability of the Kähler-Ricci flow near a Kähler-Ricci soliton. More precisely, consider the Kähler-Ricci flow given in terms of a Ricci potential. It is proven that if a Kähler manifold admits a Kähler-Ricci soliton, there exists a sufficiently small neighborhood of the zero function, such that if the initial potential stays in this neighborhood, the weak Kähler-Ricci flow exists globally and converges in the Cheeger-Gromov sense. Further conditions are given to obtain exponential convergence to the Kähler-Ricci soliton. The technique used to study the asymptotic behavior of the flow is different from the usual methods in the area, relying solely on the fact that the flow is a pseudogradient flow of some functional. For this reason, the author claims that this technique could find applications in similar stability problems of geometric flows near critical metrics.
