Tian's modified properness conjecture for cscK metrics

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a Kähler manifold, let H\mathcal H be the normalized space of Kähler potentials cohomologous to ω\omega, let G=Aut0(X,J)G=\operatorname{Aut}_0(X,J) act on H\mathcal H, and let K\mathcal K and JωJ_\omega denote the Mabuchi K-energy and Aubin's nonlinear energy functional. A Kähler metric is constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) if its scalar curvature is constant. Tian's modified properness conjecture. There exists a cscK metric cohomologous to ω\omega if and only if there are constants C,D>0C,D>0 such that

K(u)CinfgGJω(g.u)D,uH.\mathcal K(u)\geq C\inf_{g\in G}J_\omega(g.u)-D,\qquad u\in\mathcal H.

The conjecture reduces to Tian's original prediction when GG is trivial and was proved for general Fano manifolds in the cited context; its general Kähler case is the subject of the paper's regularity approach.
