Inoue surfaces and the Chern–Ricci flow

We investigate the Chern–Ricci flow, an evolution equation of Hermitian metrics, on Inoue surfaces. These are non-Kähler compact complex surfaces of type Class VII. We show that, after an initial conformal change, the flow always collapses the Inoue surface to a circle at infinite time, in the sense of Gromov–Hausdorff.
