Donaldson's existence conjecture for extremal metrics on toric manifolds
Donaldson's existence conjecture for extremal metrics on toric manifolds
Let be a Delzant polytope, let be a smooth function on , and let be the associated linear functional on convex functions. An admissible symplectic potential is a symplectic potential on with the prescribed boundary behaviour for the Delzant polytope. Donaldson's existence conjecture. If
for every affine-linear function and
for every convex function that is not affine-linear, then there is an admissible symplectic potential satisfying
This is the proposed sufficiency condition for solving the Abreu equation on a toric manifold. The preceding discussion explains that failure of the condition obstructs existence and that degenerating sequences can produce piecewise-linear convex functions; the conjecture asserts that these are the only obstructions, but the supplied text does not state a resolution.
