On a modified parabolic complex Monge-Ampère equation with applications

Abstract

We study a parabolic complex Monge-Ampère type equation of the form \eqref{MA} on a complete noncompact \K manifold. We prove a short time existence result and obtain basic estimates. Applying these results, we prove that under certain assumptions on a given real and closed (1,1) form $\Omega$ and initial \K metric $g_0$ on $M$, the modified \KR flow $g'=-\Ric+Ω$ has a long time smooth solution converging to a complete \K metric such that $\Ric=Ω$, which extends the result in [1] to non-compact manifolds. We will also obtain a long time existence result for the \KR flow which generalizes a result [5].
