Chen's conjecture on global existence of the Calabi flow

Let XX be a compact Kähler manifold and let ω0\omega_0 be an initial Kähler metric. The Calabi flow is the evolution of Kähler metrics starting at ω0\omega_0 by the negative gradient flow of the Calabi energy.

Chen's conjecture. The Calabi flow exists for all time.

This is one of the principal conjectures on the long-term behavior of the Calabi flow; the source does not state a resolution.
