The mean curvature flow along the Kähler-Ricci flow (1105.1200v1)

Abstract: Let $(M,\overline{g})$ be a K\"ahler surface, and $\Sigma$ an immersed surface in $M$. The K\"ahler angle of $\Sigma$ in $M$ is introduced by Chern-Wolfson \cite{CW}. Let $(M,\overline{g}(t))$ evolve along the K\"ahler-Ricci flow, and $\Sigma_t$ in $(M,\overline{g}(t))$ evolve along the mean curvature flow. We show that the K\"ahler angle $\alpha(t)$ satisfies the evolution equation: $$ (\frac{\partial}{\partial t}-\Delta)\cos\alpha=|\overline\nabla J_{\Sigma_t}|^2\cos\alpha+R\sin^2\alpha\cos\alpha, $$ where $R$ is the scalar curvature of $(M, \overline{g}(t))$. The equation implies that, if the initial surface is symplectic (Lagrangian), then along the flow, $\Sigma_t$ is always symplectic (Lagrangian) at each time $t$, which we call a symplectic (Lagrangian) K\"ahler-Ricci mean curvature flow. In this paper, we mainly study the symplectic K\"ahler-Ricci mean curvature flow.
