Title: Metrics of constant Chern scalar curvature and a Chern-Calabi flow
Speaker: Xi Sisi Shen, Columbia University
Location: Online
Abstract:
We discuss the existence problem of constant Chern scalar curvature metrics on a compact complex manifold. We prove a priori estimates for these metrics conditional on an upper bound on the entropy, extending a recent result by Chen-Cheng in the Kähler setting. In addition, we show how these estimates can be used to prove a convergence result for a Hermitian analogue of the Calabi flow on compact complex manifolds with vanishing first Bott-Chern class.
