The continuity equation for Hermitian metrics: Calabi estimates, Chern scalar curvature and Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds

Abstract

We prove local Calabi and higher order estimates for solutions to the continuity equation introduced by La Nave-Tian and extended to Hermitian metrics by Sherman-Weinkove. We apply the estimates to show that on a compact complex manifold the Chern scalar curvature of a solution must blow up at a finite-time singularity. Additionally, starting from certain classes of initial data on Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds we prove Gromov-Hausdorff and smooth convergence of the metric to a particular non-negative $(1,1)$-form as $t\to \infty$.
