In this paper, based on a Harnack-type estimate and a local Sobolev constant bounded for the Calabi flow on closed surfaces, we extend author’s previous results and show the long-time existence and convergence of solutions of 2-dimensional Calabi flow on closed surfaces. Then we establish the uniformization theorem for closed surfaces.
