Gauduchon's conjecture on prescribed Chern-Ricci curvature

Let MM be a compact complex manifold, and let ψ\psi be a closed real (1,1)(1,1)-form on MM satisfying

[ψ]=c1BC(M)HBC1,1(M,R).[\psi]=c_{1}^{BC}(M)\in H_{BC}^{1,1}(M,\mathbb{R}).

A Gauduchon metric is a metric ω\omega satisfying

(ωn1)=0.\partial\overline{\partial}(\omega^{n-1})=0.

Gauduchon's conjecture. There exists a Gauduchon metric ω\omega on MM such that

Ric(ω)=ψ,\operatorname{Ric}(\omega)=\psi,

where Ric(ω)\operatorname{Ric}(\omega) is the Chern-Ricci curvature, locally given by

Ric(ω)=1logωn.\operatorname{Ric}(\omega)=-\sqrt{-1}\,\partial\overline{\partial}\log\omega^n.

The conjecture asks for prescribed Chern-Ricci curvature within the Bott–Chern first Chern class; the supplied text gives no evidence of a resolution.
