Convergence of the calabi flow on toric varieties and related Kaehler manifolds
arXiv:1207.5969
Abstract
Let be a toric variety and be a normalized symplectic potential of the corresponding polytope . Suppose that the Riemannian curvature is bounded by 1 and then there exists a constant depending only on and such that . As an application, we show that if is analytic uniform -stable, then the modified Calabi flow converges to an extremal metric exponentially fast by assuming that the Riemannian curvature is uniformly bounded along the Calabi flow. Also we provide a proof of a conjecture of Donaldson. Finally, assuming that the curvature is bounded along the Calabi flow, our method would provide a proof of a conjecture due to Apostolov, Calderbank, Gauduchon and Tonnesen-Friedman.
