On the Calabi estimate of geometric flows of Hermitian metrics
As on arXiv
Abstract
We establish a general result ensuring a 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.
