Thomas-Yau's equivalent variational existence conjecture

Let L\mathcal{L} be the class of quantitatively almost calibrated exact unobstructed Lagrangian objects under consideration, and let L0LL_0\in\mathcal{L} be exact, quantitatively almost calibrated, and unobstructed. Let S\mathcal{S} denote the Solomon functional, and let a destabilizing distinguished triangle mean a distinguished triangle in L\mathcal{L} satisfying the Thomas-Yau destabilizing phase condition. Thomas-Yau's variational conjecture. Assuming Thomas-Yau semistability for L0L_0, the following statements are equivalent: L\mathcal{L} contains a special Lagrangian representative; there is no destabilizing distinguished triangle in L\mathcal{L}; S\mathcal{S} is bounded below on L\mathcal{L}; and S\mathcal{S} has a minimizer in L\mathcal{L}. The source presents these equivalences as the variational form of the Thomas-Yau existence conjecture, with several implications supported only under additional hypotheses and the remaining directions unproved.
