Flatness conjecture for Type IIb scalar-flat Kähler 4-manifolds
Let be a complete scalar-flat Kähler 4-manifold with a continuous symmetry, of Type IIb, and let denote its Killing field. Assume that has a global lower bound
Flatness conjecture. Then 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.
