Donaldson–Scaduto conjecture on associative pairs of pants
Donaldson–Scaduto conjecture on associative pairs of pants
Let be a hyperkähler surface, and let be irreducible -classes in satisfying . For each , let , let be the corresponding complex structure, let be the unique smooth embedded -holomorphic sphere representing , and set . Donaldson–Scaduto conjecture. There is a unique associative submanifold in with three ends asymptotic to cylinders , , and . The existence of such an associative pair of pants was previously proved, and this paper proves uniqueness, so the conjecture is solved.
