Collins's chiral-ring K-stability conjecture

Let (X,ζ)(X,\zeta) be a polarized ring with symmetry or Reeb vector field ζ\zeta. The ring is the chiral ring of a four-dimensional N=1\mathcal{N}=1 superconformal field theory (SCFT) when it is the ring of operators annihilated by Qα˙^\widehat{Q_{\dot{\alpha}}}, modulo operators of the form {Qα˙^,_}\{\widehat{Q_{\dot{\alpha}}},\_\}. Collins's chiral-ring K-stability conjecture. The ring (X,ζ)(X,\zeta) is the chiral ring of an SCFT if and only if XX is K-stable. This conjecture proposes K-stability as the criterion for a polarized ring to arise as the chiral ring of an SCFT; the source gives no resolution status.
