All-time existence conjecture for odd-dimensional Ricci Yang-Mills flow

Let (M2n+1,g)(M^{2n+1},g) be a Riemannian manifold, let LML\to M be the total space of a U(1)U(1)-bundle with connection AA, and let FF be the curvature of AA satisfying

[Fn]0.[F^{\wedge n}]\neq 0.

Odd-dimensional all-time existence conjecture. The solution to the Ricci Yang-Mills flow exists for all time.

This is presented as an odd-dimensional analogue of the even-dimensional conjecture above. The paper gives no resolution of this general assertion, so its validity beyond the analyzed surface cases remains open.
