Collins–Jiang–Yau conjecture for the deformed Hermitian–Yang–Mills equation

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a compact Kähler manifold of complex dimension nn, let [α]H1,1(X,R)[\alpha]\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb R) be a real cohomology class, and let θ^\hat\theta be a supercritical phase, meaning that it admits a lift to R\mathbb R in ((n2)π2,nπ2)((n-2)\frac{\pi}{2},n\frac{\pi}{2}). The deformed Hermitian–Yang–Mills equation for a representative α[α]\alpha\in[\alpha] is

Im(eiθ^(ω+iα)n)=0.\operatorname{Im}(e^{-i\hat\theta}(\omega+i\alpha)^n)=0.

For any analytic subvariety VXV\subset X, define its charge by

ZV([α])=Veiω+α,Z_V([\alpha])=-\int_V e^{i\omega+\alpha},

where only the term of order dim(V)\dim(V) is integrated, and write Z(X)=ZX([α])Z(X)=Z_X([\alpha]). Collins–Jiang–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(ZV([α])ZX([α]))>0.\operatorname{Im}\left(\frac{Z_V([\alpha])}{Z_X([\alpha])}\right)>0.

This conjecture proposes a numerical stability criterion, expressed through the charges of all analytic subvarieties, that is equivalent to solvability of the deformed Hermitian–Yang–Mills equation. The necessity of the condition was developed in the cited work of Collins, Jiang, and Yau under the supercritical-phase assumption; the supplied source does not state whether the sufficiency direction has been proved.
