Cheltsov–Rubinstein conjecture on small-angle Kähler–Einstein edge metrics

About 7 years old · traced to

Let XX be a smooth projective variety and let DD be a smooth divisor such that (X,D)(X,D) is asymptotically log Fano. For β∈(0,1]\beta\in(0,1], write (X,(1−β)D)(X,(1-\beta)D) for the corresponding log pair; a Kähler–Einstein edge metric is a metric with cone angle 2βaπ2\beta a\pi along DD. Cheltsov–Rubinstein conjecture. The pair (X,(1−β)D)(X,(1-\beta)D) admits a Kähler–Einstein edge metric with sufficiently small cone angle β\beta along DD if and only if

(KX+D)dim⁡X=0.(K_X+D)^{{\operatorname{dim}} X}=0.

The conjecture concerns the existence of canonical metrics in the small-cone-angle limit for asymptotically log Fano pairs. The source states that it does not hold in general and that counterexamples are presented, so it is refuted.
