Demailly's transcendental Morse inequalities conjecture

Let XX be an nn-dimensional compact complex manifold, and let α\alpha be a real dd-closed CC^\infty (1,1)(1,1)-form on XX. Define

X(α,1)={xX:α has at most one negative eigenvalue at x}.X(\alpha,\leq 1)=\{x\in X:\alpha\text{ has at most one negative eigenvalue at }x\}.

The Bott\Chern cohomology class {α}BC\{\alpha\}_{BC} is the class of α\alpha in Bott\Chern cohomology. Demailly's transcendental Morse inequalities conjecture. If

X(α,1)αn>0,\int_{X(\alpha,\leq 1)}\alpha^n>0,

then {α}BC\{\alpha\}_{BC} contains a Kähler current (a closed positive (1,1)(1,1)-current dominating a positive multiple of a Hermitian form). In particular, XX is a class C\mathcal{C} manifold, meaning that it is bimeromorphic to a Kähler compact complex manifold. This conjecture extends holomorphic Morse inequalities from integral (1,1)(1,1)-classes represented by line bundles to possibly transcendental cohomology classes; its resolution would give a broad criterion for a compact complex manifold to belong to Fujiki's class C\mathcal{C}.
