Global Kahler-Ricci Flow on Complete Non-Compact Manifolds

Abstract

In this paper, we study the global Kähler-Ricci flow on a complete non-compact Kähler manifold. We prove the following result. Assume that $(M,g_0)$ is a complete non-compact Kähler manifold such that there is a potential function $f$ of the Ricci tensor, i.e., $$R_{i\bar{j}}(g_0)=f_{i\bar{j}}.$$ Assume that the quantity $|f{|}_{C^0}+|{\nabla }_{g_0}f{|}_{C^0}$ is finite and the L2 Sobolev inequality holds true on $(M,g_0)$. Then the Kahler-Ricci flow with the initial metric $g_0$ either blows up at finite time or infinite time to Ricci flat metric or exists globally with Ricci-flat limit at infinite time. A related is also discussed.
