Flatness conjecture for Type IIb scalar-flat Kähler 4-manifolds

About 11 years old · traced to

Let M4M^4 be a complete scalar-flat Kähler 4-manifold with a continuous symmetry, of Type IIb, and let VV denote its Killing field. Assume that ∣V∣|V| has a global lower bound

∣V∣>ϵ>0.|V|>\epsilon>0.

Flatness conjecture. Then M4M^4 is flat.

This conjecture concerns the case in which the level sets of the symmetry function are non-compact. It would classify Type IIb metrics whose Killing field is bounded away from zero; the source compares it with the Ricci-flat case and with results for manifolds having two symmetries.
