Abstract

We show that the scalar curvature is uniformly bounded for the normalized Kähler-Ricci flow on a Kähler manifold with semi-ample canonical bundle. In particular, the normalized Kähler- Ricci flow has long time existence if and only if the scalar curvature is uniformly bounded, for Kähler surfaces, projective manifolds of complex dimension three, and for projective manifolds of all dimensions if assuming the abundance conjecture.
