Nonnegativity conjecture for the BCOV coefficient of maximally unipotent Calabi–Yau threefold degenerations

Let f ⁣:XDf \colon X \to \mathbb D be a projective degeneration of 3-dimensional Calabi–Yau varieties with maximally unipotent monodromy, and let κf\kappa_f denote its BCOV logarithmic coefficient. Nonnegativity conjecture. One has

κf0.\kappa_f \geq 0.

This is motivated by mirror symmetry and the Bogomolov–Gieseker inequality. It is known for abelian threefolds and for the mirror quintic family, while the general case remains open.
