The flat Gauduchon connection conjecture

Let (Mn,g)(M^n,g) be a compact Hermitian manifold, and let s\nabla^s denote its ss-Gauduchon connection. A connection is flat when its curvature tensor vanishes identically. Flat Gauduchon connection conjecture. If s0,2s\neq 0,2, then any compact Hermitian manifold (Mn,g)(M^n,g) which admits a flat ss-Gauduchon connection must be Kähler, thus being a finite undercover of a flat complex torus. The cases s=0s=0 and s=2s=2 are understood through classifications of compact manifolds with flat Chern and Bismut connections, respectively; the proposed statement concerns the remaining Gauduchon connections.
