Donaldson–Scaduto conjecture on collapsing special Lagrangian submanifolds

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau 33-fold with a K3-fibration π:XY\pi:X\rightarrow Y, let ωX\omega_X and ωY\omega_Y be Kähler forms on XX and YY, respectively, and let ω~t\widetilde{\omega}_t be the unique Calabi–Yau metric in the Kähler class

[ωX]+1tπ[ωY],[\omega_X]+\frac{1}{t}\pi^*[\omega_Y],

for t1t\ll1. Donaldson–Scaduto conjecture. If LtL_t is a 11-parameter family of special Lagrangian submanifolds with respect to ω~t\widetilde{\omega}_t, then LtL_t Gromov–Hausdorff converges to a graph in YY whose edges are geodesics of the specified quadratic-differential geometry, equivalently gradient-flow lines of a suitable area functional. The conjecture is presented as the Calabi–Yau, or S1S^1-reduced, counterpart of the original Donaldson–Scaduto conjecture for G2G_2-manifolds. Its general validity is not established in the supplied text.
