Convergence of the Hesse-Koszul flow on compact Hessian manifolds (Q6075030)

In this paper, the long time behavior of the Hesse-Koszul flow on compact Hessian manifolds is studied. The authors characterize the maximal existence time of the Hesse-Koszul flow and show that the flow converges to a Hesse-Einstein metric, assuming that the first affine Chern class is negative. A convergence result for a twisted Hesse-Koszul flow on any compact Hessian manifold is also established.
