AbstractChern and Hamilton considered the integral of the Webster scalar curvature as a functional on the set of CR-structures on a compact 3-dimensional contact manifold. Critical points of this functional can be viewed as Riemannian metrics associated to the contact structure for which the characteristic vector field generates a 1-parameter group of isometries i.e. K-contact metrics. Tanno defined a higher dimensional generalization of the Webster scalar curvature, computed the critical point condition of the corresponding integral functional and found that it is not the K-contact condition. In this paper two other generalizations are given and the critical point conditions of the corresponding integral functionals are found. For the second of these, this is the K-contact condition, suggesting that it may be the proper generalization of the Webster scalar curvature.

Suppose that [Formula: see text] is a product of compact Riemann surfaces [Formula: see text],[Formula: see text], i.e. [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is a graph in [Formula: see text] of a strictly area dereasing map [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] evolve along the Kähler–Ricci flow, and [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] evolve along the mean curvature flow. We show that [Formula: see text] remains to be a graph of a strictly area decreasing map along the Kähler–Ricci mean curvature flow and exists for all time. In the positive scalar curvature case, we prove the convergence of the flow and the curvature decay along the flow at infinity.
