Boucksom–Demailly–Păun–Peternell transcendental holomorphic Morse inequality conjecture

Let XX be a compact complex manifold of dimension nn, and let HBC1,1(X,C)H^{1,1}_{BC}(X,\mathbb C) denote its complex Bott–Chern (1,1)(1,1)-cohomology. A class is nef if it lies in the nef cone, and a Kähler current is a positive closed (1,1)(1,1)-current that dominates a Hermitian form. The volume of a class is denoted by Vol\operatorname{Vol}. Boucksom–Demailly–Păun–Peternell's conjecture. If α,βHBC1,1(X,C)\alpha,\beta\in H^{1,1}_{BC}(X,\mathbb C) are nef classes satisfying

αn>nαn1β,\alpha^n>n\alpha^{n-1}\cdot\beta,

then αβ\alpha-\beta contains a Kähler current and

Vol(αβ)αnnαn1β.\operatorname{Vol}(\alpha-\beta)\geq\alpha^n-n\alpha^{n-1}\cdot\beta.

This is proposed as a transcendental counterpart of the holomorphic Morse inequalities for integral classes. The supplied text gives no resolution of this conjecture, so its status remains open.
