Uniqueness of the limiting cohomology class of conjugate p-tight forms

Let MM be a closed oriented Riemannian manifold of dimension 2d72\leq d\leq 7. Let ρHd1(M,R)\rho\in H^{d-1}(M,\mathbf{R}) be nonzero, and for each 1<p<1<p<\infty let FpF_p be the pp-tight form representing ρ\rho. Define

αqH1(M,R)\alpha_q\in H^1(M,\mathbf{R})

to be the cohomology class of Fpp2Fp|F_p|^{p-2}\star F_p.

Uniqueness conjecture. The family (αq)(\alpha_q) has a unique limit as q1q\to1. This asks whether the limiting cohomology class arising from the qq-harmonic conjugates is distinguished among all classes dual to the given class; the paper presents it as an open question.
