Donaldson's cone-singularity conjecture along an anticanonical divisor

Let XX be a Fano manifold, let YKXY\in |-K_X| be a general smooth Calabi–Yau hypersurface, and let R(X)R(X) be the supremum of the parameters tt for which the continuity-method equation is solvable. For a parameter β\beta, a cone-singularity solution ωβ\omega_\beta means a Kähler–Einstein metric with cone angle 2πβ2\pi\beta along YY, satisfying

Ric(ω)=βω+(1β){Y}.\operatorname{Ric}(\omega)=\beta\omega+(1-\beta)\{Y\}.

Donaldson's conjecture. There is a cone-singularity solution ωβ\omega_\beta to this equation for every parameter β(0,R(X))\beta\in(0,R(X)). If R(X)<1R(X)<1, there is no solution for any parameter β(R(X),1)\beta\in(R(X),1). This conjecture relates the greatest solvable cone angle parameter to the continuity threshold R(X);R(X); the source does not state a resolution.
