Matsushita's maximal-or-minimal variation conjecture for Lagrangian fibrations

Let π:XPn\pi:X\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^n be a Lagrangian fibration, and let tPnt\in\mathbb{P}^n be a generic point. After choosing a local section near tt, let ϕ\phi be the resulting local classifying map to Ad1,,dn\mathcal{A}_{d_1,\ldots,d_n}. The fibration has maximal variation if the image of ϕ\phi is nn-dimensional, equivalently if (dϕ)t(d\phi)_t has rank nn, and it has minimal variation if ϕ\phi is constant and dϕd\phi vanishes.

Matsushita's conjecture. The fibration has either maximal variation or minimal variation.

For elliptic K3 surfaces, failure of maximal variation forces the classifying map to be constant, and examples are locally isotrivial. The conjecture proposes the same dichotomy in higher dimensions; the source gives no resolution.
