A Parabolic Monge-Ampère Type Equation of Gauduchon Metrics

We prove the long time existence and uniqueness of solution to a parabolic Monge-Ampère type equation on compact Hermitian manifolds. We also show that the normalization of the solution converges to a smooth function in the smooth topology as t approaches infinity which, up to scaling, is the solution to a Monge-Ampère type equation. This gives a parabolic proof of the Gauduchon conjecture based on the solution of Székelyhidi, Tosatti, and Weinkove to this conjecture.
