Chern-Ricci flow on Kato surfaces

Abstract

Let $S$ be a Kato surface and $D$ its maximal reduced divisor of rational curves. On $S\setminus D$ we construct Hermitian metrics which are flat along the leaves of the canonical foliation and study their evolution under the Chern-Ricci flow. For Enoki surfaces, we construct an immortal normalised solution which, on every compact sublevel of the natural exhaustion, converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to the elliptic base endowed with an explicit flat metric. For Kato surfaces of intermediate type, the affine Green model and its finite-index extension give, under the assumption $0<\mu<2$, an explicit normalised solution which, on every compact Green block, collapses in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a circle. In the Enoki case the limiting area is $2\pi b_2(S)$; in the intermediate case the length of the limiting circle is determined by the Green and leafwise monodromies.
