Infinite-dimensionality conjecture for Besse metrics on spherical 2-orbifolds

From papers

Let G<O(3)G<\operatorname{O}(3), and consider the spherical 22-orbifold S2/GS^2/G. The real projective plane is covered by S2/GS^2/G precisely when 1G-1\in G.

The infinite-dimensionality conjecture. If 1G-1\notin G, then the moduli space of Besse metrics on S2/GS^2/G is infinite-dimensional.

Beyond the known constructions on certain spherical 22-orbifolds, the source presents this as a conjecture motivated by Guillemin's construction of non-round Besse metrics on 22-spheres. Its general status is not resolved in the supplied text.
