Problem statement

Suppose (M,ω)(M,\omega) is a complete Kaher manifold with bounded geometry, and u∈C∞(M)u\in C^{\infty}(M) solves

(ω+−1∂∂‾u)n=efωn, (\omega+\sqrt{-1}\partial\overline{\partial}u)^{n}=e^{f}\omega^{n},

and satisfies

C−1ω≤ω+−1∂∂‾u≤Cω C^{-1}\omega\leq\omega+\sqrt{-1}\partial\overline{\partial}u\leq C\omega ∣f∣(z)≤Cdωs(z0,z) |f|(z)\leq\frac{C}{d_{\omega}^{s}(z_{0},z)}

as dω(z0,z)→∞d_{\omega}(z_{0},z)\to\infty, for some fixed point z0∈Mz_{0}\in M. Then does the flow

∂tu=log⁡((ω+−1∂∂‾u)nωn)−f \partial_{t}u=\log\left(\frac{(\omega+\sqrt{-1}\partial\overline{\partial}u)^{n}}{\omega^{n}}\right)-f

have long time existence? Does it converge to a solution of the corresponding elliptic equation?

This is known when s>2s>2. It is also known by Li-Tam that a longtime solution exists assuming (M,ω0)(M,\omega_{0}) is a complete Kahler manifold with nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature and maximal volume growth. Moreover, in this case, we have

∣Rm∣ωt≤Ct |Rm|_{\omega_{t}}\leq\frac{C}{t}

for all t>0t>0. However, it may not be known whether ωt→ω\omega_{t}\to\omega as t→∞t\to\infty.

There is always a solution of (ω+−1∂∂‾u)n=efωn(\omega+\sqrt{-1}\partial\overline{\partial}u)^{n}=e^{f}\omega^{n} if s∈(0,2)s\in(0,2) and (M,ω)(M,\omega) is asymptotically conical.
