The toric Sasaki polystability conjecture

Let MM be a compact co-oriented toric contact manifold of Reeb type. Let C\mathcal{C} be its strictly convex good cone, let C+\mathcal{C}_+^* denote the Reeb cone, and for bC+b\in\mathcal{C}_+^* let (Δb,ub)(\Delta_b,u_b) be the associated labeled polytope and Fb(Rn+1/Rb)\mathcal{F}_b\in(\mathbb R^{n+1}/\mathbb Rb)^* the Futaki–Sasaki invariant restricted to the torus Lie algebra. Toric Sasaki polystability conjecture. The manifold MM admits a compatible toric constant scalar curvature Sasaki metric if and only if there exists bC+b\in\mathcal{C}_+^* such that

Fb=0\mathcal{F}_b=0

and (Δb,ub)(\Delta_b,u_b) is polystable.

This gives the Donaldson–Tian–Yau conjecture a toric Sasaki interpretation: vanishing of the Futaki–Sasaki obstruction together with polystability of the associated labeled polytope should characterize existence of compatible toric cscS metrics. For a fixed Reeb vector, uniqueness follows from uniqueness for the extremal Kähler equation, while the existence criterion stated here is the unresolved part.
