Chen's conjecture on smooth long-time existence of the Calabi flow
Theorem 1.1: there is a smooth -invariant Kahler form on in the Fubini-Study class whose maximal smooth Calabi flow exists only on with , and at a point the scalar curvature blows up like . Since the class contains the cscK Fubini-Study metric, smooth global existence fails even there. Corollary 1.2 gives finite-time singularities in every complex dimension on . Not shown: anything in complex dimensions 2 to 9, or about weak (Streets, Berman-Darvas-Lu) flows, which continue to exist.
