Fang's extremal metric conjecture for Dolbeault determinants on the sphere
Let be the standard round sphere, and let be an ample holomorphic line bundle over . Consider the determinant of the Dolbeault Laplacian as a functional of smooth Hermitian metrics on .
Fang's conjecture. The upper bound is achieved precisely by the Fubini–Study metric on , up to scaling.
This refines the boundedness conjecture by identifying all maximizers in the spherical ample case. The source presents it as a more precise conjectural form of the boundedness statement.
