Douglas–Reinbacher–Yau conjecture on stable reflexive sheaves

Let XX be a simply connected Calabi–Yau threefold. Let ciH2i(X,Z)c_i\in H^{2i}(X,\mathbb Z) for i=2,3i=2,3, and let r>1r>1 be an integer. Suppose there is an ample class HH2(X,Q)H\in H^2(X,\mathbb Q) such that

c2=r(H2+124c2(X)),c3<29/23rH3.c_2=r\left(H^2+\frac{1}{24}c_2(X)\right),\qquad c_3<\frac{2^{9/2}}{3}rH^3.

Douglas–Reinbacher–Yau conjecture. There exists a rank-rr stable reflexive sheaf E\mathcal E on XX with respect to some polarization such that c1(E)=0c_1(\mathcal E)=0, c2(E)=c2c_2(\mathcal E)=c_2, and c3(E)=c3c_3(\mathcal E)=c_3.

This conjecture proposes a general existence result for stable reflexive sheaves with prescribed Chern classes on simply connected Calabi–Yau threefolds. The source introduces it as a conjecture of Douglas, Reinbacher, and Yau; its resolution status is not established by the supplied text.
