Regularity conjecture for minimizers of the extended K-energy

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a compact Kähler manifold, let (E1,d1)(\mathcal E^1,d_1) be the metric completion of the space of Kähler potentials, and let the extended Mabuchi K-energy be a map K:E1(,+]\mathcal K:\mathcal E^1\to(-\infty,+\infty]. A point uE1u\in\mathcal E^1 is a minimizer of K\mathcal K if it attains the infimum of K\mathcal K on E1\mathcal E^1. A Kähler metric is constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) if its scalar curvature is constant. Regularity conjecture. If uu is a minimizer of the extended K-energy, then uu is a smooth cscK metric. This conjecture is presented as the regularity question linked to the general modified properness conjecture; the supplied text gives no resolution.
