Expanding Soliton Models for Kähler-Ricci Flow Near Conical Singularities
Longteng Chen, Max Hallgren, Lucas Lavoyer
Abstract
Let $(Y,g_0)$ be a compact Kähler space with a finite number of singular points, where the metric at each singular point is modelled on an admissible Kähler cone. We show that the Kähler-Ricci flow with such initial data satisfies a $C/t$ curvature bound, and that the flow near each singular point is modelled on the unique Kähler-Ricci expander asymptotic to the corresponding cone. Our motivation is to give a geometric description of the Kähler--Ricci flow emerging from singularities arising in the analytic minimal model program.
