TL;DR
The paper addresses singularity formation in the deformed Hermitian Yang–Mills cotangent flow on the blow-up of $\mathbb{C}P^3$ at a point, using Calabi symmetry to reduce the problem to a one-dimensional ODE. It constructs an explicit unstable example where the flow develops a singularity along the exceptional divisor and shows that the limit satisfies a singular dHYM equation in the sense of DMS24, providing evidence for Conjecture 1.12 in this symmetry-reduced setting. The work also develops a framework of stability criteria, auxiliary deformations, and comparison principles to analyze long-time existence and convergence, distinguishing stable, semistable, and unstable regimes. The results illustrate infinite-time singularity formation along a divisor in dimension three and offer insight into how stability notions govern the asymptotic behavior of dHYM-type flows on higher-dimensional Kähler manifolds, with potential implications for non-pluripolar products and Bedford–Taylor-type limits.
Abstract
The existence and uniqueness of canonical singular solutions of the J-equation and the deformed Hermitian Yang Mills (dHYM) equation was proved in \cite{DMS24} on compact Kähler surfaces. In this paper, we study the singularity formation of the dHYM cotangent flow on the one-point blow up of $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^3$ using Calabi ansatz. In particular, we provide an explicit example where the flow develops a singularity along the exceptional divisor. Moreover, the limit satisfies corresponding singular dHYM equation in the sense of \cite{DMS24} and provides some evidence for Conjecture $1.12$ in \cite{DMS24} on this three-dimensional manifold with symmetry.
