The full spatial supremum has an exact asymptotic coefficient, and prescribed rescalings converge to a complete nonflat radial shrinking solution. The positive part of Chern scalar curvature can remain arbitrarily small throughout the flow, as can each prescribed subcritical spatial curvature norm. We determine the punctured terminal metric, its one-point completion and unique nonflat tangent cone, and the terminal energy asymptotics. We also exclude Chern Type-II under a logarithmically improved critical weak L³ bound on Chern scalar curvature, and prove a separate scale-invariant integral criterion involving first Chern–Ricci curvature. The constructed singular solutions satisfy both criteria.Other curvature flowsSingularitiesKähler geometryScalar curvatureKähler–Einstein & K-stability https://neckpinch.com/papers/2610.31270/arxiv:2610.31270Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMTHongyu Chen, Li Ma, Li Sheng — We study the volume-normalized gradient flow of the squared Chern scalar curvature on compact Hermitian manifolds of complex dimension n≥3. The flow extends smoothly past a finite time if the spatial supremum of Chern scalar curvature belongs to L² in time. A uniform curvature bound in the evolving L^p norm, for one fixed p>n, gives global existence and smooth convergence of the whole trajectory to a constrained critical metric. On Chern scalar-flat backgrounds, small initial L^p curvature gives exponential convergence to the background. A corresponding condition on the trace-free first Chern–Ricci form gives exponential convergence on Chern–Ricci-flat Hermitian and positive Kähler–Einstein backgrounds. The smallness thresholds are independent of the initial higher derivatives. We also construct constant Chern scalar curvature backgrounds of either sign with arbitrarily small smooth perturbations whose solutions, if global, cannot converge back to the background.Other curvature flowsEinstein metricsRicci-flat & Calabi–YauSingularitiesKähler geometryScalar curvatureLong-time existence & convergenceKähler–Einstein & K-stability
