We prove global existence for this flow as well as a Type III curvature estimate. The long-time behavior of the α-Ricci flow depends on the cohomology class [α] ∈ H¹(M,ℝ), which is invariant under the flow. If [α] is rational, then as t→∞, (M,t⁻¹g(t)) Gromov–Hausdorff converges to S¹ with length ℓ([α])/sqrt 2 where ℓ([α]) is the primitive length of [α]. On the universal cover, the rescaled flow (s⁻¹tilde g(st),tildeα(st)) smoothly converges to an expander (g^*(t),α^*(t)) on ℝ² as s→ ∞ where α^*(t) is nonzero and constant in spacetime and g^*(t) is flat and expanding in the α^* direction. If [α] is irrational, then there is a sequence sᵢ→∞ such that (M,sᵢ⁻¹g(sᵢt)) Gromov–Hausdorff converges to a point. Moreover, on the universal cover, (sᵢ⁻¹tilde g(sᵢt),tildeα(sᵢt)) smoothly converges to (g^*(t),α^*(t)).Ricci flowRicci solitonsLimit spaces & RCDLong-time existence & convergence https://neckpinch.com/papers/2512.11246/arxiv:2512.11246Fri, 12 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMTJeffrey Streets, Xiaokang Wang — We establish global existence of the pluriclosed flow with arbitrary initial data on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds, and Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of blowdown limits to a torus under natural conjectural bounds on the flow at infinity. In the case of generalized Kähler-Ricci flow we prove refined a priori estimates in support of these conjectural bounds.Ricci flowKähler–Ricci flowGeneralized & G₂ flowsKähler geometryLimit spaces & RCDLong-time existence & convergence
