Extremal-monomial test-configuration conjecture for isolated hypersurface singularities

Let f(z0,z1,z2,z3)f(z_0,z_1,z_2,z_3) be an isolated hypersurface singularity. The extremal monomials are the monomials selected from the four sets II, IIII, IIIIII, and IVIV displayed in the source, one from each set, which determine the coordinate weights. A test configuration is a degeneration generated by a C\mathbb C^*-action whose central fibre has the required enlarged symmetry. Extremal-monomial test-configuration conjecture. It suffices to consider only test configurations that eliminate one of the extremal monomials in ff. This conjecture proposes a finite restriction on the test configurations relevant to the stability analysis of isolated hypersurface singularities. The source gives no evidence of a proof or disproof.
