in this talk i will discuss certain singular (and degenerate) solutions to the kaehler ricci flow (krf) on smooth compact complex manifolds. algebraically this will correspond to solving the kahler ricci flow on a projective varieties with so called log canonical singularities. analytically this will correspond to solving a complex parabolic monge ampere equation on a smooth manifild, with degeneracies and singularities in the equation and possibly the initial condition. settings for this study include the analytic minimal model program via krf, pluri-potential theory and krf, the conical krk, and the flow of complete unbounded curvature metrics. our results will be discussed within each of these contexts.
