The epsilon-regularity conjecture for the almost complex Calabi–Yau equation

At least 16 years old · documented by

Let (M,Ω)(M,\Omega) be a compact symplectic four-manifold equipped with an almost complex structure JJ tamed by Ω\Omega. Let ω~\tilde{\omega} be a symplectic form cohomologous to Ω\Omega and compatible with JJ, and let g~\tilde{g} and gg be the metrics associated to ω~\tilde{\omega} and Ω\Omega, respectively. Given a smooth volume form σ\sigma, suppose that

ω~2=σ.\tilde{\omega}^2=\sigma.

Epsilon-regularity conjecture. There exist constants ε,C,r0>0\varepsilon,C,r_0>0, depending only on Ω\Omega, JJ, and σ\sigma, such that if

1r2∫Bg(p,r)tr⁡gg~ dVg≤ε\frac{1}{r^2}\int_{B_g(p,r)}\operatorname{tr}_{g}\tilde{g}\,dV_g\leq\varepsilon

for some p∈Mp\in M and 0<r<r00<r<r_0, then

sup⁡Bg(p,r/2)tr⁡gg~≤Cr4∫Bg(p,r)tr⁡gg~ dVg.\sup_{B_g(p,r/2)}\operatorname{tr}_{g}\tilde{g}\leq\frac{C}{r^4}\int_{B_g(p,r)}\operatorname{tr}_{g}\tilde{g}\,dV_g.

This is motivated by epsilon-regularity for harmonic maps and is intended to provide local control toward the global estimates. The source presents it as an expectation and gives no resolution.
