Two-step degeneration conjecture for Kähler-Ricci flows at finite-time singularities
Two-step degeneration conjecture for Kähler-Ricci flows at finite-time singularities
Let be the Fano fibration at a finite singular time of a compact Kähler-Ricci flow . For and , a tangent flow is a rescaled limiting Kähler-Ricci flow at .
Finite-time two-step degeneration conjecture. For any and :
- The Kähler-Ricci flow naturally induces a weighted-volume-minimizing, hence K-semistable, valuation on .
- The tangent flow of at is unique and is given by the Kähler-Ricci shrinker canonically associated with the Fano fibration germ via the weighted-volume minimization conjecture and the K-polystability criterion for Kähler-Ricci shrinkers.
This conjecture seeks an algebraic description and uniqueness theorem for tangent flows at finite-time singularities. The source presents it as a motivation from the known two-step degeneration picture in the Fano case; the general assertion remains open.
