Donaldson–Scaduto realizability conjecture for gradient cycles

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau 33-fold with a Lefschetz K3-fibration π:XY\pi:X\rightarrow Y, and let a gradient cycle be a graph in YY whose edges are decorated by 22-cycles in the K3 fibers, satisfy the corresponding balancing condition, and follow gradient-flow lines of the associated area functional. Donaldson–Scaduto realizability conjecture. There exists a 11-parameter family of special Lagrangian submanifolds LtL_t in (X,ω~t)(X,\widetilde{\omega}_t) such that LtL_t converges to the gradient cycle as t0t\rightarrow0. This conjecture addresses realizability of tropical-like gradient cycles by special Lagrangians in the adiabatic limit. The supplied text does not report a proof or a counterexample.
