Adiabatic limit conjecture for co-associative Kovalev–Lefschetz fibrations

From papers

Fix a cohomology class [ϕ0]H3(M)[\phi_{0}]\in H^{3}(M) and set χ=b([ϕ0])\chi=b([\phi_{0}]). Let Hχ{\cal H}_{\chi} be the corresponding flat affine bundle over the base BB of a co-associative Kovalev–Lefschetz fibration π:MB\pi:M\rightarrow B. A section is said to avoid excess 2-2 classes if its restriction to BLB\setminus L avoids 2-2 classes and, at each point of LL, the only elements of the relevant set C{\cal C} orthogonal to the vectors v0,v1,v2v_{0},v_{1},v_{2} are ±δα\pm\delta_{\alpha}. Write [B]H3(X)[B]\in H^{3}(X) for the pull-back of the fundamental class of BB.

Adiabatic limit conjecture. If there is a positive section hh of Hχ{\cal H}_{\chi} which avoids excess 2-2 classes, then for sufficiently large RR there is a closed positive 33-form on MM in the class [ϕ0]+R[B][\phi_{0}]+R[B] with respect to which π:MB\pi:M\rightarrow B has co-associative fibres. If, in addition, the section hh can be chosen to be maximal, then for sufficiently large RR the positive 33-form can be chosen to define a torsion-free G2G_{2}-structure.

This is the proposed adiabatic limit problem for constructing co-associative fibrations and torsion-free G2G_{2}-structures from suitable positive sections. The source does not state a resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
