Abstract

We study the singularity type and models of the Kähler–Ricci flow on compact manifolds constructed from the 1-parameter foliation of a circle-bundle over a product of Kähler–Einstein manifolds , with metric constructed using the ansatz considered in, et. al. In the earlier work by the authors, we considered the "two-bolt" case where both ends of the foliation close with the "bolt" . In this article, we continue our work on the more subtle "nut-bolt" and "two-nut" cases. The former has one end of the interval closes with a nut-type collapse (i.e. ) and the other with a bolt (i.e. ). The compactification is then a -bundle over . The "two-nut" case is one that both ends close with nut-type collapses, necessarily two of the 's must be and , and the compactification is a -bundle over . We proved that in all "two-bolt", "nut-bolt" and "two-nut" caess the singularity must be of Type I. Furthermore, we study the pointed Cheeger-Gromov limit of the rescaled and dilated sequence of the flow in all of three cases, and prove that the limit model must be with , where is one of the following: , , or a projectivization with , and is a line bundle over the product of some of the factors. The metric is a Kähler-Ricci shrinker satisfying the circle-bundle ansatz.
