We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Anti-complexified Ricci flow on compact symplectic manifolds
Hông Vân Lê and Guofang Wang
Abstract
In this note we introduce a gradient flow equation for compatible metrics on symplectic manifolds with respect to the Blair-Ianus energy functional and prove the short time existence of the flow. We provide an example where the flow exists globally.
