Abstract

Let M‾ be a compact complex manifold with smooth Kähler metric η and let D be a smooth divisor on M‾. Let M=M‾∖D and let ωˆ be a Carlson–Griffiths type metric on M. We study complete solutions to Kähler Ricci flow (1.1) on M which are comparable to ωˆ starting from a smooth initial metric ω0=η+i∂∂¯ϕ0 where ϕ0∈C∞(M). When ω0≥cωˆ on M for some c>0 and ϕ0 has zero Lelong number, we construct a smooth solution ω(t) to (1.1) on M×[0,T[ω0]) where T[ω0]:=sup⁡{T:[η]+T(c1(KM‾)+c1(OD))∈KM} so that ω(t)≥([Formula presented]−[Formula presented])ωˆ for all t≤[Formula presented] where Kˆ is a non-negative upper bound on the bisectional curvatures of ωˆ (see Theorem 1.2). In particular, we do not assume ω0 has bounded curvature. If ω0 has bounded curvature and is asymptotic to ωˆ in an appropriate sense, we construct a complete bounded curvature solution on M×[0,T[ω0]) (see Theorem 1.3). These generalize some of the results of Lott–Zhang in [13]. On the other hand if we only assume ω0≥cη on M for some c>0 and ϕ0 is bounded on M, we construct a smooth solution to (1.1) on M×[0,T[ω0]) which is equivalent to ωˆ for all positive times. This includes as a special case when ω0 is smooth on M‾ in which case the solution becomes instantaneously complete on M under (1.1) (see Theorem 1.1).
