Deformations from a given Kähler metric to a twisted cscK metric

In [3], X. Chen proposed a continuity path aiming to attack the existence problem of the constant scalar curvature Kähler(cscK) metric. He also proved the openness of the path at $t \in (0, 1)$ by the standard implicit function theorem on solutions of fourth order PDE. However, the openness at $t = 0$ is quite different in nature and it is in fact a deformation result from the solution of a second order PDE to the solution of a fourth order PDE. In this paper, we give a proof of the openness at $t = 0$, which asserts the existence of twisted cscK metrics for $t \gt 0$ sufficient small.
