Gauge-theoretic flatness conjecture for Fock fields

Let (P,Φ0,σ)(P,\Phi_0,\sigma) be a GG-Fock bundle over SS equipped with a compatible hermitian structure ρ\rho. Let ηΩ0(S,gPσ,ρ)\eta\in\Omega^0(S,\mathfrak{g}_P^{\sigma,-\rho}) be a hermitian endomorphism-valued function, and set Φ=eηΦ0eη\Phi=e^{-\eta}\Phi_0e^{\eta}. Let dAd_A be the corresponding canonical connection and let Φ=ρ(Φ)\Phi^{*}=-\rho(\Phi). Gauge-theoretic flatness conjecture. There exists a unique such η\eta for which Φ\Phi is positive and

Φ+dA+Φ\Phi+d_A+\Phi^{*}

is flat, equivalently

F(A)+[ΦΦ]=0.F(A)+[\Phi\wedge\Phi^{*}]=0.

This is an equivalent reformulation of the main flatness problem with fixed hermitian structure and varying gauge class of the Fock field; the source provides no resolution.
