The complex Monge-Amp\`ere type equation on compact Hermitian manifolds and Applications

We prove the existence and uniqueness of continuous solutions to the complex Monge-Amp\`ere type equation with the right hand side in $L^p$, $p>1$, on compact Hermitian manifolds. Next, we generalise results of Eyssidieux, Guedj and Zeriahi \cite{EGZ09, EGZ11} to compact Hermitian manifolds which {\em a priori} are not in the Fujiki class. These generalisations lead to a number of applications: we obtain partial results on a conjecture of Tosatti and Weinkove \cite{TW12a} and on a weak form of a conjecture of Demailly and Paun \cite{DP04}.
