Locality of Kähler-Ricci flow
Let $(M,I, \omega)$ be a compact Kähler manifold with $c_1(M)=0$. Denote by $\operatorname{Ric}^{1,1}(\omega)$ the Ricci (1,1)-form, that is, the curvature of the canonical bundle. It is known ("...

I am trying to read about geometric flows mainly Ricci flows. I have a question in mind, which I am not sure whether it's possible or not.
So my question is if one starts with a metric that has mostly ...
