Abstract

We prove that the asymptotics of the Hermitian-Yang-Mills flow on a slope semistable holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Kähler manifold are determined algebro-geometrically, via the iterated filtration defined by Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pandit. This proves a conjecture of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pandit in this setting. Moreover, we prove a non-linear analogue, relating the asymptotics of the Calabi flow near a cscK manifold to the iterated balancing filtration of the deformation space. In both settings, we reduce the infinite-dimensional flow to a finite-dimensional flow, following the foundational work of Chen-Sun. In finite dimensions, we prove that the asymptotics of the moment map flow are determined by the iterated balancing filtration, proving a conjecture of Ibáñez Núñez.
