Hermitian curvature flow on complex locally homogeneous surfaces

We study the Hermitian curvature flow of locally homogeneous non-Kahler metrics on compact complex surfaces. In particular, we characterize the long-time behavior of the solutions to the flow. We also provide the first example of a compact complex non-Kahler manifold admitting a finite time singularity for the Hermitian curvature flow. Finally, we compute the Gromov-Hausdorff limit of immortal solutions after a suitable normalization. Our results follow by a case-by-case analysis of the flow on each complex model geometry.
