Abstract

We consider the evolution of an almost Hermitian metric by the (1, 1) part of its Chern–Ricci form on almost complex manifolds. This is an evolution equation first studied by Chu and coincides with the Chern–Ricci flow if the complex structure is integrable and with the Kähler–Ricci flow if moreover the initial metric is Kähler. We find the maximal existence time for the flow in term of the initial data and also give some convergence results. As an example, we study this flow on the (locally) homogeneous manifolds in more detail.
