The K\\\"ahler-Ricci flow has provided a powerful tool in understanding the conjecture, and has been used to verify the conjecture in several important cases. In this article we present a survey of the K\\\"ahler-Ricci flow with focus on its application to uniformization. Other interesting methods and results related to the study of Yau's conjecture are also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-08-22T06:03:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C55", "35K90" ], "keywords": [ "kähler-ricci flow", "yaus uniformization conjecture states", "positive holomorphic bisectional curvature", "yaus conjecture", "complete noncompact" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007math......2257C" } } }
