Tangent-flow-at-infinity conjecture for ancient Kähler-Ricci flows
Tangent-flow-at-infinity conjecture for ancient Kähler-Ricci flows
Let , , be a non-collapsed ancient Kähler-Ricci flow. A non-collapsing weak Fano fibration is a fibration with klt, normal affine, and relatively nef and big. A negative valuation is a function on the nonzero elements of the global anti-canonical ring satisfying
It is K-polystable when its associated graded algebra is finitely generated and, with reversed grading, defines a K-polystable polarized Fano fibration.
Tangent flows at infinity conjecture. Given a non-collapsed ancient Kähler-Ricci flow , :
- admits a non-collapsing weak Fano fibration structure and the flow naturally induces a K-polystable negative valuation.
- The tangent flow at infinity of is unique and is given by the Kähler-Ricci shrinker determined by the K-polystable negative valuation via the K-polystability criterion for Kähler-Ricci shrinkers.
This is a global analogue of the weighted-volume degeneration conjecture and predicts uniqueness and algebraic characterization of tangent flows at infinity. It remains open.
