Donaldson's K-polystability conjecture for conformally Kähler Einstein-Maxwell metrics

About 18 years old · traced to

Let (Δ,L)(\Delta, {\bf L}) be a labelled Delzant polytope and ff a positive affine function on Δ\Delta. A solution of the modified Abreu equation belongs to the space S(Δ,L)\mathcal{S}(\Delta, {\bf L}), and (Δ,L,f)(\Delta, {\bf L}, f) is K-polystable when the Donaldson–Futaki invariant satisfies FΔ,L,f(φ)≥0\mathfrak{F}_{\Delta, {\bf L}, f}(\varphi)\geq 0 for every piecewise affine linear convex function φ\varphi on Δ\Delta, with equality only when φ\varphi is affine linear.

Donaldson's conjecture. There exists a solution of the modified Abreu equation in S(Δ,L)\mathcal{S}(\Delta, {\bf L}) if and only if (Δ,L,f)(\Delta, {\bf L}, f) is K-polystable.

This is the main conjecture in the theory relating conformally Kähler Einstein–Maxwell metrics to an algebro-geometric stability condition. The supplied text gives no evidence resolving it.
