Uniform Sobolev inequality for blowups of compact Kähler varieties

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a compact Kähler variety of dimension nn. Let p ⁣:YXp\colon Y\to X be a blowup at a smooth center, and let η\eta be a Kähler form on YY. For 0<ϵ10<\epsilon\ll1, define

ωϵ=rω+ϵη.\omega_\epsilon=r^*\omega+\epsilon\eta.

Uniform Sobolev inequality conjecture. The metrics (Y,ωϵ)(Y,\omega_\epsilon) have a uniform Sobolev constant for 0<ϵ10<\epsilon\leqslant1: there exists a constant CSC_S, independent of ϵ\epsilon, such that every nonnegative C1\mathcal C^1 function ff compactly supported in the smooth locus of YY satisfies

(Yf2nn1ωϵn)n1nCSY(ωϵf2+f2)ωϵn.\left(\int_Y |f|^{\frac{2n}{n-1}}\omega_\epsilon^n\right)^{\frac{n-1}{n}} \leqslant C_S\int_Y\left(\lVert\nabla_{\omega_\epsilon}f\rVert^2+|f|^2\right)\omega_\epsilon^n.

Such an estimate is needed to adapt the Bando–Siu method for Hermitian–Yang–Mills metrics to singular compact Kähler varieties; the paper presents it as the global uniform Sobolev inequality required for the analytic argument, without resolving it.
