Donaldson's hypersymplectic isotopy conjecture
Donaldson's hypersymplectic isotopy conjecture
Let be a compact 4-manifold. A triple of symplectic forms is a hypersymplectic structure when every nonzero linear combination , with , is symplectic. An isotopy is a path of hypersymplectic structures, and cohomologous means that the corresponding components represent fixed cohomology classes.
Donald'son conjecture. For every hypersymplectic structure on a compact 4-manifold , there is an isotopy of cohomologous hypersymplectic structures for , with , such that is hyperkähler. Equivalently, there is a hyperkähler metric on whose family of Kähler forms is generated by the components of .
The conjecture says that, up to isotopy and on compact manifolds, hyperkähler triples are essentially the only hypersymplectic structures. The source presents it as a more tractable approach to the preceding folklore conjecture, and does not report a resolution.
