Tosatti–Weinkove's Chern-Ricci flow convergence conjecture for minimal surfaces

Let XnX^n be a compact complex manifold with KXK_X nef and big, and let tildeω(s)tilde\omega(s) be the solution of the Chern-Ricci flow

sω~(s)=RicC(ω~(s)),ω~(0)=ω0,\frac{\partial}{\partial s}\widetilde\omega(s)=-\operatorname{Ric}^C(\widetilde\omega(s)),\qquad \widetilde\omega(0)=\omega_0,

starting at an arbitrary Hermitian metric ω0\omega_0. Let E=Null(KX)E=\operatorname{Null}(K_X), and let ωKE\omega_{KE} denote the singular Kähler–Einstein current obtained as the limit of the normalized Chern-Ricci flow. Tosatti–Weinkove's conjecture. There is a constant CC such that

diam(X,ω~(s)s+1)C\operatorname{diam}\left(X,\frac{\widetilde\omega(s)}{s+1}\right)\leq C

for all sufficiently large ss, and

(X,ω~(s)s+1)(Z,d)\left(X,\frac{\widetilde\omega(s)}{s+1}\right)\longrightarrow (Z,d)

in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology for some compact metric space (Z,d)(Z,d). Moreover, (Z,d)(Z,d) should be identified with the metric completion of (XE,ωKE)(X\setminus E,\omega_{KE}). On surfaces of general type, this conjecture was proved independently by Guo–Song–Weinkove and Tian–Zhang; Tian–Zhang also treated the Kähler case in complex dimension three.
