Smoothness conjecture for complete pointsets in gauged linear sigma-models
Let and be pointsets defining a gauged linear -model. The pair is -complete when
and -complete when
Smoothness conjecture. If a gauged linear -model is defined by pointsets and which are both -complete and -complete, then this model is nonsingular for generic values of the complex-structure and Kähler parameters.
The conjecture proposes that imposing both completeness conditions prevents singularities after the extremal transitions used to enlarge the pointsets. The source gives no resolution, so the claim remains open.
