A priori estimates for Donaldson's equation over compact Hermitian manifolds (Q2510363)

On a compact Hermitian manifold \((X^n,\omega)\), given another Hermitian form \(\chi\), a solution of Donaldson's equation is a smooth real valued function \(\phi\) such that \(\chi_\phi:=\chi+\sqrt{-1}\partial\overline{\partial} \phi\) is positive and satisfies \[ \omega\wedge\chi_\phi^{n-1}=\exp(F)\cdot \chi_\phi^n \] for a given smooth function \(F\) on \(X\). In this article, the author proves a priori uniform estimates of all orders for a solution of Donaldson's equation provided that \((\omega,\chi,F)\) satisfies \[ \chi-\frac{n-1}{n\exp(F)}\omega>0. \] This answers a question by \textit{V. Tosatti} and \textit{B. Weinkove} [Asian J. Math. 14, No. 1, 19--40 (2010; Zbl 1208.32034)].
