On the extension and smoothing of the Calabi flow on complex tori

Received  November 2016 Revised  July 2017 Published  August 2017

In this paper, we continue to study the Calabi flow on complex tori. We develop a new method to obtain an explicit bound of the curvature of the Calabi flow. As an application, we show that when $n=2$, the Calabi flow starting from a weak Kähler metric will become smooth immediately. It implies that in our settings, the weak minimizer of the Mabuchi energy is a smooth one.

Keywords: Calabi flow, extension and smoothing, complex tori.
