The Chern–Ricci Flow on Oeljeklaus–Toma Manifolds

Abstract

AbstractWe study the Chern-Ricci flow, an evolution equation of Hermitian metrics, on a family of Oeljeklaus–Toma (OT-) manifolds that are non-Kähler compact complex manifolds with negative Kodaira dimension. We prove that after an initial conformal change, the flow converges in the Gromov–Hausdorff sense to a torus with a flat Riemannianmetric determined by the OT-manifolds themselves.
