The Hermitian curvature flow on manifolds with non-negative Griffiths curvature

Abstract

In this paper we study a particular version of the Hermitian curvature flow (HCF) over a compact complex Hermitian manifold $(M,g,J)$. We prove that if the initial metric has Griffiths positive (non-negative) Chern curvature $\Omega$, then this property is preserved along the flow. On a manifold with Griffiths non-negative Chern curvature the HCF has nice regularization properties, in particular, for any $t>0$ the zero set of $\Omega (\xi ,\bar{\xi },\eta ,\bar{\eta })$ becomes invariant under certain torsion-twisted parallel transport.

Mistake in the original preprint is corrected. The HCF with a certain torsion is considered. 18 pages
