On global Chern-Calabi flows on compact complex surfaces

Abstract

In this paper, we propose the Chern-Calabi Flow for extremal metrics in conformal Hermitian geometry. After the existence of extremal metric, we consider the existence of global flows to the Chern-Calabi flows for extremal metrics on compact complex surfaces with Gauduchon metrics. To achieve this goal, we use the Adams inequality and the Gronwall inequality method to obtain fourth order derivative norm estimates. We also study the convergence of the global solution to the Chern-Calabi flow and its limit is the solution of the Chern-Calabi extremal metric problem. We propose a fourth order elliptic problem and derive the Bochner formula relevant to the elliptic estimates for the Chern-Calabi heat flow.
