Using the orbifold compactness theorem, we prove a uniform Bergman estimate, construct a normal test configuration for each geometric limit, and establish uniqueness of the extremal orbifold limit up to polarized holomorphic isometry. K-polystability then identifies the limit with the original surface and gives a constant scalar curvature Kähler metric. We also prove finite-group equivariant versions of these results. Independently of the flow, we obtain a uniform Bergman lower bound for polarized cscK surfaces with bounded volume and Sobolev constants and |S|≤1. We illustrate the hypotheses with nonstationary flows near a product cscK metric on ℙ¹×ℙ¹ and near Calabi&apos;s non-cscK extremal metric on the first Hirzebruch surface. Their controlled-cone energy inequalities follow from elementary calculations and continuity.</description><category>Other curvature flows</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Scalar curvature</category><category>Limit spaces &amp; RCD</category><category>Stability &amp; uniqueness</category><category>Kähler–Einstein &amp; K-stability</category></item>

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.</description><category>Other curvature flows</category><category>Singularities</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Scalar curvature</category><category>Kähler–Einstein &amp; K-stability</category></item>

It recovers the usual Miyaoka-Yau inequality in the Kähler-Einstein case. Our proof uses weighted equivariant Bogomolov-Gieseker and Langer inequalities for torsion-free sheaves, together with a weighted slope estimate for the canonical extension sheaf. We also construct toric examples showing that the existence of a soliton implies neither weighted semistability of the canonical extension sheaf nor nonnegativity of the equivariant Miyaoka-Yau number.</description><category>Ricci solitons</category><category>Kähler–Ricci solitons</category><category>Einstein metrics</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Kähler–Einstein &amp; K-stability</category></item>

If the Mabuchi functional is proper modulo automorphisms, the flow converges exponentially to a constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metric. In particular, this gives a flow proof that properness of the K-energy implies the existence of a cscK metric in the toric setting.</description><category>Other curvature flows</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Scalar curvature</category><category>Long-time existence &amp; convergence</category><category>Kähler–Einstein &amp; K-stability</category></item>

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&gt;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.</description><category>Other curvature flows</category><category>Einstein metrics</category><category>Ricci-flat &amp; Calabi–Yau</category><category>Singularities</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Scalar curvature</category><category>Long-time existence &amp; convergence</category><category>Kähler–Einstein &amp; K-stability</category></item>

After the existence of extremal metric, we consider the existence of global flows to the Chern-Calabi flows for extremal metrics on compact complex surfaces with Gauduchon metrics. To achieve this goal, we use the Adams inequality and the Gronwall inequality method to obtain fourth order derivative norm estimates. We also study the convergence of the global solution to the Chern-Calabi flow and its limit is the solution of the Chern-Calabi extremal metric problem. We propose a fourth order elliptic problem and derive the Bochner formula relevant to the elliptic estimates for the Chern-Calabi heat flow.</description><category>Other curvature flows</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Long-time existence &amp; convergence</category><category>Kähler–Einstein &amp; K-stability</category></item>

Van Why — We demonstrate that Kähler-Ricci flow on a Fano surface decomposes as a symplectic deflation along a plurianticanonical divisor plus an exact symplectic deformation in the divisor complement. We apply this decomposition to the study of certain projective bundles. We establish the optimal decay rate in the setting of Song, Székelyhidi, and Weinkove for a family of toric metrics which match the cohomological profile of Kähler-Ricci flow. In doing so, we identify a C²-obstruction to proving the optimal decay rate in the setting of ruled toric surfaces. We present these ideas as a new symplectic-topological approach to the study of Kähler-Ricci flow.</description><category>Ricci flow</category><category>Kähler–Ricci flow</category><category>Kähler geometry</category></item>

These estimates yield Gromov-Hausdorff convergence to a unique compact metric space homeomorphic to the normal Kähler space determined by the limiting cohomology class.

The starting point is the type-II scalar-curvature estimate, which gives the natural parabolic scale r≲ T-t near the singular time. By combining the distance distortion and space-time cut-off estimates of Bamler–Zhang with entropy, mean-value inequality, and conjugate heat-kernel estimates, we obtain two-sided Gaussian bounds and gradient bounds that are uniform on this scale. Under the global type-I scalar-curvature estimate, the same estimates hold on every scale. We then use these estimates and the monotonicity of the W₁-distance between conjugate heat flows to construct a canonical singular-time pseudo-distance. The distances dₜ (induced by ω(t)) converge uniformly to this pseudo-distance. Its metric quotient is the unique Gromov–Hausdorff limit. Finally, we apply Bamler&apos;s theory and the recent work of Hallgren–Zhang to obtain the following. Every fixed-base-point type-I blow-up admits a subsequential metric-flow limit whose time slices are singular shrinking Kähler–Ricci soliton spaces with normal complex-analytic and log-terminal structure, unique tangent cones, and a polarized Fano fibration. For moving base points, the limiting metric flow, equipped with its limiting conjugate heat flow, is a metric soliton precisely under an entropy-pinching condition.</description><category>Ricci flow</category><category>Kähler–Ricci flow</category><category>Ricci solitons</category><category>Kähler–Ricci solitons</category><category>Singularities</category><category>(Non)collapsing</category><category>Heat kernel</category><category>Curvature pinching</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Scalar curvature</category></item>

We prove that constant scalar curvature forces the soliton to be rigid. More precisely, the universal cover splits holomorphically and isometrically as N^(2k)×ℂ^(m-k), where N^(2k) is Kähler-Einstein with Ric_(g_N)=λg_N. In the shrinking case the quotient is trivial; in the normalization λ=1/2 one has R≡ k. The Kähler result rests on a Riemannian rigidity criterion. On a complete nonsteady gradient Ricci soliton, if 𝓛_∇fRic is nonnegative or nonpositive everywhere, then it vanishes and the soliton is rigid; no assumption on the scalar curvature is needed. Along the Ricci flow generated by the soliton, this means that a Ricci tensor that is monotone in time is constant in time, and that this forces rigidity. We also give a direct proof that the pinching 0≤Ric≤λg forces constant scalar curvature and radial flatness, yielding the rigidity conclusion through the Petersen-Wylie characterization. The proof combines a weighted cutoff argument with a partial Codazzi symmetry for the Ricci endomorphism.</description><category>Ricci flow</category><category>Ricci solitons</category><category>Kähler–Ricci solitons</category><category>Einstein metrics</category><category>Curvature pinching</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Scalar curvature</category><category>Stability &amp; uniqueness</category><category>Kähler–Einstein &amp; K-stability</category></item>

Under suitable reference metric and positivity assumptions, we establish strong uniqueness for initial Hermitian metrics which are Kähler outside a compact set. The initial metric may be incomplete, and no curvature, metric comparison, or growth bounds are imposed on the evolving solutions. In particular, we obtain strong uniqueness from complete initial metrics in this class with bounded Chern-Ricci curvature. We also prove stationarity of flows from the Euclidean metric on ℂⁿ and uniqueness of the instantaneously complete flow from the Euclidean metric on the complex unit ball for all positive time. Finally, on complex surfaces, we show that a Ricci flow remaining Hermitian for a fixed complex structure is Kähler at all times if it is Kähler at one time, and derive a corresponding strong uniqueness result for Ricci flows in this class.</description><category>Ricci flow</category><category>Generalized &amp; G₂ flows</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Stability &amp; uniqueness</category><category>Boundaries &amp; non-compact</category></item>

As part of the proof, we establish a Riemannian rigidity criterion: for a complete nonsteady gradient Ricci soliton with constant scalar curvature, the condition 𝓛_∇fRic=0 implies radial flatness and hence rigidity.</description><category>Ricci solitons</category><category>Einstein metrics</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Scalar curvature</category><category>Stability &amp; uniqueness</category><category>Kähler–Einstein &amp; K-stability</category></item>

This establishes Cao&apos;s rigidity conjecture for Kähler-Ricci solitons in arbitrary dimension and gives the corresponding result for expanding solitons, without additional curvature assumptions. The proof uses a rigidity criterion for gradient Ricci solitons with constant scalar curvature, expressed by the vanishing of the Lie derivative of the Ricci tensor along the soliton vector field. In the Kähler case, this vanishing follows from constant scalar curvature, the closedness of the Ricci form, and the classical real holomorphicity of the soliton vector field.</description><category>Ricci solitons</category><category>Kähler–Ricci solitons</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Scalar curvature</category><category>Stability &amp; uniqueness</category></item>

Its solutions describe conformally balanced pluriclosed Hemitian metrics on complex 3-folds with holomorphically trivial canonical line bundle. In particular, solutions of the IIB system are steady solitons for the generalized Ricci-flow and Bismut–Hermitian–Einstein metrics. In this paper we study cohomogeneity one solutions of the IIB system. We construct 1-parameter families (up to scaling symmetries) of complete non-compact non-Kähler solutions on the smoothing of the conifold with controlled geometry at infinity. The generic member of the family is asymptotically conical with tangent cone at infinity the Calabi–Yau cone metric on the conifold. As a limit of the family we recover an explicit solutions known in the physics literature as the Chamseddine–Volkov/Maldacena–Nuñez solution, which has an exotic asymptotic geometry. We show that there are no complete cohomogeneity one solutions on crepant resolutions of the conifold (or its quotient), but we also establish the existence of an analogous 1-parameter family of forward complete solutions defined on exterior domains of the conifold with prescribed incomplete behaviour along the interior boundary and similar asymptotic behaviour at infinity. As a byproduct of these existence results, we produce infinitely many complete non-compact non-Kähler Bismut–Hermitian–Einstein metrics in complex dimension 3 with full holonomy of the Bismut connection, in contrast to the holonomy reduction forced upon compact examples. We also find infinitely many such complete non-compact full-holonomy non-Kähler examples (with at least two ends) in complex dimension 2 by revisiting a construction due to Callan–Harvey–Strominger in the physics literature.</description><category>Ricci flow</category><category>Generalized &amp; G₂ flows</category><category>Ricci solitons</category><category>Einstein metrics</category><category>Ricci-flat &amp; Calabi–Yau</category><category>3-manifolds</category><category>Kähler geometry</category><category>Homogeneous spaces</category><category>Boundaries &amp; non-compact</category></item>
