Abstract

Let $S$ be a Kato surface and $D$ its maximal reduced divisor of rational curves. On $S ∖ D$ we construct Hermitian metrics which are flat along the leaves of the canonical foliation and study their evolution under the Chern-Ricci flow. For Enoki surfaces, we construct an immortal normalised solution which, on every compact sublevel of the natural exhaustion, converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to the elliptic base endowed with an explicit flat metric. For Kato surfaces of intermediate type, the affine Green model and its finite-index extension give, under the assumption $0 < μ < 2$ , an explicit normalised solution which, on every compact Green block, collapses in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a circle. In the Enoki case the limiting area is $2 π b_{2} (S)$ ; in the intermediate case the length of the limiting circle is determined by the Green and leafwise monodromies.
