Pluripotential Chern-Ricci Flows

Abstract: Extending a recent theory developed on compact K\"ahler manifolds by Guedj-Lu-Zeriahi and the author, we define and study pluripotential solutions to degenerate parabolic complex Monge-Amp`ere equations on compact Hermitian manifolds. Under natural assumptions on the Cauchy boundary data, we show that the pluripotential solution is semi-concave in time and continuous in space and that such a solution is unique. We also establish a partial regularity of such solutions under some extra assumptions of the densities and apply it to prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak Chern-Ricci flow on complex compact varieties with log terminal singularities.
