We will show that when the Ricci curvature is positive and uniformly pinched, i.e. $ R_\\ijb \\ge cRg_\\ijb$ at $(p,t)$ for all $t$ for some $c>0$, then there always exists a local gradient K\\\"ahler Ricci soliton limit around $p$ after possibly rescaling $g(t)$ along some sequence $t_i \\to \\infty$. We will show as an immediate corollary that the injectivity radius of $g(t)$ along $t_i$ is uniformly bounded from below along $t_i$, and thus $M$ must in fact be simply connected. Additional results concerning the uniformization of $M$ and fixed points of the holomorphic isometry group will also be established. We will then consider removing the condition of positive Ricci for $(M, g(t))$. Combining our results with Cao's splitting for K\\\"ahler Ricci flow \\cite{Cao04} and techniques of Ni-Tam \\cite{NiTam03}, we show that when the positive eigenvalues of the Ricci curvature are uniformly pinched at some point $p \\in M$, then $M$ has a special holomorphic fiber bundle structure. We will treat a special cases, complete K\\\"ahler manifolds with non-negative holomorphic bisectional and average quadratic curvature decay as well as the case of steady gradient K\\\"ahler Ricci solitons.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-06-15T16:05:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58J37", "35B35" ], "keywords": [ "non-negatively curved kähler manifolds", "noncompact long time solutions", "holomorphic fiber bundle structure", "nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature", "simply connectedness" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0806.2457C" } } }
