Chen's regularity conjecture for K-energy minimizers

About 11 years old · traced to

Let (M,[ω],J)(M,[\omega],J) be a compact Kähler manifold, let

Hω={ϕ∈C∞(M):ωϕ=ω+−1∂∂ˉϕ>0},\mathcal H_\omega=\{\phi\in C^\infty(M):\omega_\phi=\omega+\sqrt{-1}\partial\bar\partial\phi>0\},

and let K\mathcal K be the K-energy on Kähler potentials. A C1,1ˉC^{1,\bar 1} potential is a weak Kähler potential whose complex Hessian is bounded, and a minimizer of K\mathcal K is one attaining the minimum in the given Kähler class. Chen's conjecture. A C1,1ˉC^{1,\bar 1} minimizer in a given Kähler class of the K-energy is a smooth Kähler metric with constant scalar curvature. The cited work proves this regularity statement in part by showing that weak CSCK solutions with a uniform L∞L^\infty bound are smooth; the supplied evidence indicates that the broader conjecture is regarded as resolved through the known minimizer and convexity results.
