In this note, we study the long time existence of the Calabi flow on $X = \mathbb{C}^n/\mathbb{Z}^n + i\mathbb{Z}^n$. Assuming the uniform bound of the total energy, we establish the non-collapsing property of the Calabi flow by using…
We first give a precise statement on the short time existence of the Calabi flow and prove a stability result: any metric near a constant scalar curvature metric will flow to this cscK metric exponentially fast. Secondly, we prove that a…
Suppose there is a constant scalar curvature metric on a compact Kahler manifold without holomorphic vector field. We prove that the Calabi flow, if it is assumed to exist for all time with bounded Ricci curvature, will converge to the…
We consider the formation of singularities along the Calabi flow with the assumption of the uniform Sobolev constant. In particular, on K\"ahler surface we show that any "maximal bubble" has to be a scalar flat ALE K\"ahler metric. In some…
Inspired by recent work of S. K. Donaldson on constant scalar curvature metrics on toric complex surfaces, we study obstructions to the extension of the Calabi flow on a polarized toric variety. Under some technical assumptions, we prove…
In this paper, we show that the Calabi flow can be extended as long as the $L^p$ scalar curvature is uniformly bounded for some $p>n$, and on a compact extremal K\"ahler manifold the Calabi flow with uniformly bounded $L^p(p>n)$ scalar…
We study the combinatorial Calabi flow for ideal circle patterns in both hyperbolic and Euclidean background geometry. We prove that the flow exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to an ideal circle pattern metric on surfaces…
For triangulated surfaces, we introduce the combinatorial Calabi flow which is an analogue of smooth Calabi flow. We prove that the solution of combinatorial Calabi flow exists for all time. Moreover, the solution converges if and only if…
We study the convergence and curvature blow up of La Nave and Tian's continuity method on a generalised Hirzebruch surface. We show that the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence is similar to that of the Kahler-Ricci flow and obtain curvature…
For triangulated surfaces and any $p>1$, we introduce the combinatorial $p$-th Calabi flow which precisely equals the combinatorial Calabi flows first introduced in H. Ge's thesis when $p=2$. The difficulties for the generalizations come…
Motivated by Luo's combinatorial Yamabe flow on closed surfaces \cite{L1} and Guo's combinatorial Yamabe flow on surfaces with boundary \cite{Guo}, we introduce combinatorial Calabi flow on ideally triangulated surfaces with boundary,…
Computing uniformization maps for surfaces has been a challenging problem and has many practical applications. In this paper, we provide a theoretically rigorous algorithm to compute such maps via combinatorial Calabi flow for vertex…
In this paper, we observe a set of functionals of metrics which are all decrease under the Calabi flow and have uniform lower bound along the flow, which give rise to a set of integral estimates on the curvature flow. Using these estimates,…
This paper presents a comprehensive study of the combinatorial $p$-th Calabi flow for both finite and infinite ideal circle patterns. In the finite case, we establish a sharp criterion: the combinatorial $p$-th Calabi flow with $p>1$…
In this short note we prove that if the curvature tensor is uniformly bounded along the Calabi flow and the Mabuchi energy is proper, then the flow converges to a constant scalar curvature metric.
We show that the scalar curvature is uniformly bounded for the normalized Kahler-Ricci flow on a Kahler manifold with semi-ample canonical bundle. In particular, the normalized Kahler-Ricci flow has long time existence if and only if the…
This paper investigates the twisted Calabi functional and the associated twisted Calabi flow on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Our main contributions are threefold: first, we establish the convexity of the twisted Calabi functional at its…
Let $X$ be a toric variety and $u$ be a normalized symplectic potential of the corresponding polytope $P$. Suppose that the Riemannian curvature is bounded by 1 and $ \int_{\partial P} u ~ d \sigma < C_1, $ then there exists a constant…
Let X be a smooth subvariety of CP^N. We study a flow, called balancing flow, on the space of projectively equivalent embeddings of X, which attempts to deform the given embedding into a balanced one. If L->X is an ample line bundle,…
