Collins-J-Yau conjecture for the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a compact Kähler manifold and let [α]H1,1(X,R)[\alpha]\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb R). For an analytic subvariety VXV\subseteq X, define

Z[α][ω](V)=Veiω+α,Z_{[\alpha][\omega]}(V)=-\int_V e^{-i\omega+\alpha},

where only the term of order dim(V)\dim(V) in the expansion is integrated. The number Z[α][ω](V)Z_{[\alpha][\omega]}(V) depends only on the cohomology classes [α][\alpha] and [ω][\omega]. The phase is supercritical when the constant θ^\hat\theta can be lifted to R\mathbb R and lies in (((n2)π2,nπ2))(((n-2)\frac{\pi}{2},n\frac{\pi}{2})).

Collins-J-Yau conjecture. The class [α][\alpha] admits a solution to the deformed Hermitian-Yang-Mills equation with supercritical phase if and only if Z(X)0Z(X)\neq 0 and, for every analytic subvariety VXV\subset X,

Im(Z[α][ω](V)Z[α][ω](X))>0.\operatorname{Im}\left(\frac{Z_{[\alpha][\omega]}(V)}{Z_{[\alpha][\omega]}(X)}\right)>0.

This conjecture proposes that the necessary subvariety inequalities obtained by integrating the positivity condition are also sufficient for solvability. The source presents it as an open conjecture under the supercritical-phase assumption.
