Stability of asymptotically conical gradient K\"ahler-Ricci expanders

Abstract

In this work, we consider a perturbation of an asymptotically conical gradient expanding K\"ahler-Ricci soliton metric $g$ in the same K\"ahler class. We demonstrate that, under suitable assumptions, the normalized K\"ahler-Ricci flow starting from the initial perturbed metric exists for all time and converges uniformly to an asymptotically conical gradient expanding K\"ahler-Ricci soliton metric $g_\infty$. Moreover, if the perturbed initial metric is asymptotic to $g$ at spatial infinity, then the limiting metric coincides with the original soliton, that is, $g_\infty = g$.
