Coercivity conjecture for the analytic torsion functional
Coercivity conjecture for the analytic torsion functional
Let be a polarized manifold with reference Kähler form , let be the space of Kähler potentials, and let be the corresponding functional. Assume that is trivial and that admits a critical point in .
Analytic torsion coercivity conjecture. Under these assumptions, is coercive.
The conjecture is motivated by the analogous principle for the anticanonical polarization: existence of a critical point should imply coercivity when there are no continuous automorphisms. The supplied text does not give a resolution.
