Constant scalar curvature Sasakian metrics and K-polystability conjecture

Let (M,ξ)(M,\xi) be a Sasakian manifold polarized by the Reeb vector field ξ\xi, with polarized affine cone (Y,ξ)(Y,\xi), where Y=C(M)Y=C(M) is the fixed complex cone. A constant scalar curvature Sasakian (cscS) structure is a Sasakian structure compatible with ξ\xi and this cone, and K-polystability is the stability condition for the polarized affine variety (Y,ξ)(Y,\xi). Constant scalar curvature Sasakian K-polystability conjecture. There exists a cscS structure compatible with ξ\xi and the fixed complex cone Y=C(M)Y=C(M) if and only if (Y,ξ)(Y,\xi) is K-polystable. This is the Sasakian analogue of the Yau–Tian–Donaldson conjecture. The paper notes that existence implies K-semistability, while the converse equivalence is presented as a natural conjecture and its general resolution is not supplied.
