Flows of G₂-Structures associated to Calabi-Yau Manifolds

Publication date 7 September 2022

Abstract: We establish a correspondence between a parabolic complex Monge-Amp`ere equation and the

G_{2}

-Laplacian flow for initial data produced from a K"ahler metric on a complex

2

- or

3

-fold. By applying estimate for the complex Monge-Amp`ere equation, we show that for this class of initial data the

G_{2}

-Laplacian flow exists for all time and converges to a torsion-free

G_{2}

-structure induced by a K"ahler Ricci-flat metric. Similar results are obtained for the

G_{2}

-Laplacian coflow, and in this case the coflow is related to the K"ahler-Ricci flow.
