Alesker–Verbitsky's quaternionic Calabi conjecture

Let (M,I,J,K)(M,I,J,K) be an HKT manifold of quaternionic dimension nn, with HKT form Ω\Omega and operators \partial and J=J1J\partial_J=J^{-1}\circ\overline{\partial}\circ J. A q-positive section of ΛI,R2n,0(M)\Lambda^{2n,0}_{I,\mathbb{R}}(M) has the form eFΩne^F\Omega^n for some FC(M)F\in C^\infty(M). Alesker–Verbitsky's quaternionic Calabi conjecture. Given any such section, there exist an HKT metric gg on (M,I,J,K)(M,I,J,K) and a function ϕC(M)\phi\in C^\infty(M) such that the associated HKT form is Ω+Jϕ\Omega+\partial\partial_J\phi and, for some A>0A>0,

(Ω+Jϕ)n=AeFΩn.\left(\Omega+\partial\partial_J\phi\right)^n=Ae^F\Omega^n.

This is the quaternionic analogue of the Calabi conjecture for HKT manifolds, prescribing the top exterior power of the HKT form. The supplied text attributes the conjecture to Alesker and Verbitsky; its resolution status is not specified here.
