The Kähler–Ricci flow convergence conjecture for smooth minimal models

Let XX be a smooth Kähler manifold with nef canonical bundle, and let g0g_0 be any initial Kähler metric on XX. Let g(t)g(t) be the solution of the unnormalized Kähler–Ricci flow. Kähler–Ricci flow convergence conjecture. The metrics g(t)g(t) should have uniformly bounded diameter and scalar curvature for all time. Furthermore, (X,g(t))(X,g(t)) should converge in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology to a unique compact metric space (Z,dZ)(\mathcal{Z},d_{\mathcal{Z}}) homeomorphic to the canonical model XcanX_{can}. The conjecture concerns uniqueness and geometric convergence of long-time Kähler–Ricci flows on smooth minimal models; the paper notes that subsequential Gromov–Hausdorff limits can be extracted, while uniqueness requires more delicate analysis and remains open.
