Using these estimates, we show the convergence of Kahler Ricci flow directly if the $\\alpha$-invariant of the canonical class is greater than $\\frac{n}{n+1}$. Applying these convergence theorems, we can give a flow proof of Calabi conjecture on such Fano manifolds. In particular, the existence of Kahler Einstein metrics on a lot of Fano surfaces can be proved by flow method. Note that this geometric conclusion (based on the same assumption) was established earlier via elliptic method by G. Tian. However, a new proof based on Kahler Ricci flow should be still interesting in its own right.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-01-12T22:19:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C44" ], "keywords": [ "fano manifolds", "kahler einstein metrics", "elliptic method", "kahler ricci flow", "geometric conclusion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0809.3963C" } } }
