On dimension reduction in the Kähler-Ricci flow

Abstract

We consider dimension reduction for solutions of the Kähler-Ricci flow with nonegative bisectional curvature. When the complex dimension $n=2$, we prove an optimal dimension reduction theorem for complete translating Kähler-Ricci solitons with nonnegative bisectional curvature. We also prove a general dimension reduction theorem for complete ancient solutions of the Kähler-Ricci flow with nonnegative bisectional curvature on noncompact complex manifolds under a finiteness assumption on the Chern number $c_1^n$.
