We obtain curvature estimates for long time solutions of the continuity method on compact K\"ahler manifolds with semi-ample canonical line bundles. In this setting, initiated in arXiv:1410.3157 and arXiv:0709.0990, we adapt arguments from…

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,…
