Abstract:
In 2004, Wang and I found a priori C°-estimates for certain real Monge-Ampère equations to study Kähler-Einstein metrics on toric manifolds. This method was later generalized by many people to study Kähler-Einstein metrics or Kähler-Ricci solitons on G-manifolds, horosymmetric manifolds, spherical varieties etc. Recently, Tian and I found a local version of the Wang-Zhu’s estimate to study the degeneration of Kähler-Ricci flow on such manifolds. This method can be also used to construct complete Kähler-Ricci solitons on certain non-compact toric manifolds. In this series of lectures, we will give four lectures related to the above works as follows:
Wed, 16 Sept: Lecture 1: Kähler-Einstein metrics on toric manifolds
Wed, 23 Sept: Lecture 2: Complete Kähler-Ricci solitons on non-compact toric manifolds
Wed, 30 Sept: Lecture 3: Some fundamental results and volume monotonicity on Kähler-Ricci flow on Fano manifolds Wed, 7 Oct: Lecture 4: Degeneration of Kähler-Ricci flow on Fano G-manifolds
