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,…
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…
In this paper I will revisit the construction of a global weak solution to the volume preserving mean curvature flow via discrete minimizing movement scheme by Mugnai-Seis-Spadaro (2016). This method is based on the gradient flow approach…
We establish a general result ensuring a $C^1$ a priori bound for smooth curves of Hermitian metrics. As a main application, we obtain a new regularity result for Hermitian curvature flows, and in particular for the second Chern-Ricci flow.

This paper concerns the evolution of a closed convex hypersurface in ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$, in direction of its inner unit normal vector, where the speed is given by a smooth function depending only on the mean curvature, and satisfies some…
Ricci flow deforms the Riemannian metric proportionally to the curvature, such that the curvature evolves according to a heat diffusion process and eventually becomes constant everywhere. Ricci flow has demonstrated its great potential by…
