Convergence conjecture for the modified Calabi flow on relatively K-stable toric varieties

Let (X,L)(X,L) be a polarized toric variety, with LL an ample line bundle, and let c1(L)c_1(L) be its first Chern class. Assume that (X,L)(X,L) is relative KK-stable, meaning relatively K-stable in the sense used for polarized varieties. Let ωc1(L)\omega\in c_1(L) be a Kähler metric invariant under the toric action. Assume that the Calabi flow starting from ω\omega exists for all time and that the Riemannian curvature is uniformly bounded along the flow.

Toric modified-Calabi-flow conjecture. The modified Calabi flow converges exponentially fast to an extremal metric in c1(L)c_1(L).

This conjecture is the toric, symmetry-restricted convergence statement linking relative K-stability to extremal metrics. The source gives no general resolution.
