The bounded-potential conjecture for nef classes on Calabi–Yau manifolds

Let XnX^n be a Calabi–Yau manifold and let α\alpha be a closed real (1,1)(1,1)-form such that [α]CX[\alpha]\in\partial\mathcal{C}_X is nef. Bounded-potential conjecture. There is a bounded function φL(X)\varphi\in L^\infty(X) such that

α+1φ0\alpha+\sqrt{-1}\,\partial\overline{\partial}\varphi\geqslant 0

in the weak sense of currents on XX. This is equivalent to bounded potentials for a closed positive current with minimal singularities in [α][\alpha]. The conjecture remains open even for nef classes of square zero on K3K3 surfaces; for nef and big classes it follows from the analytic contraction conjecture above.

  1. The bounded-potential conjecture for nef classes on Calabi–Yau manifolds

    Let XX be a Calabi–Yau manifold and let [α][\alpha] be a nef (1,1)(1,1)-class. Bounded-potential conjecture. Then [α][\alpha] contains a closed positive current with bounded potentials. The conjecture is open even for surfaces; the weaker assertion involving vanishing Lelong numbers is also open when [α][\alpha] is not big.
