Local existence and uniqueness conjecture for higher-complex-structure connections

At least 5 years old · documented by

Let UU be a neighborhood of the zero-section in T^*\bm\hat{\mathcal{T}}^n, and let [(μk,tk)]∈U[(\mu_k,t_k)]\in U. A connection

C(λ)=λΦ+A+λ−1Φ∗C(\lambda)=\lambda\Phi+A+\lambda^{-1}\Phi^*

is considered up to unitary gauge. Local existence and uniqueness conjecture. Given an element near the zero-section [(\mu_k,t_k)]\in U\subset T^*\bm\hat{\mathcal{T}}^n, there is a unique, up to unitary gauge, flat connection C(λ)=λΦ+A+λ−1Φ∗C(\lambda)=\lambda\Phi+A+\lambda^{-1}\Phi^* satisfying: Φ\Phi is induced by the higher complex structure [(μ2,…,μn)][(\mu_2,\ldots,\mu_n)]; C(λ)C(\lambda) satisfies the reality condition −C(−1/λˉ)∗=C(λ)-C(-1/\bar{\lambda})^*=C(\lambda); and tk=tr⁡Φ1k−1A1t_k=\operatorname{tr}\Phi_1^{k-1}A_1. This is the precise local form of the preceding uniqueness claim, in the generalized Toda setting, and remains conjectural near the zero-section.
