While the long time existence of the flow is still an open question, we show that the iteration sequence does exist for all steps, along which the K-energy decreases. We further show that the iteration sequence, modulo automorphisms, converges smoothly to a constant scalar curvature K\\\"ahler metric if there is one, thus confirming a conjecture of Rubinstein from 2007 and extending results of Darvas--Rubinstein to arbitrary K\\\"ahler classes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-11-27T03:58:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "csck metrics", "finding constant scalar curvature", "ricci iteration sequence", "long time existence", "rubinstein" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
