Vanishing of the top log Bando–Futaki invariant for a momentum-constructed conical higher cscK metric

Let XX) be the minimal ruled surface considered in the paper, with distinguished sections S0S_0 and SS_\infty, and let ω\omega be a conical higher cscK metric on XX with cone angles 2πβ02\pi\beta_0 and 2πβ2\pi\beta_\infty along S0S_0 and SS_\infty, respectively. Assume that ω\omega belongs to the Kähler class

2π(C+mS)2\pi\left(\mathsf{C}+mS_\infty\right)

and is yielded by the momentum construction described in the paper. Let η\eta be any smooth Kähler metric in the same Kähler class, and let www\frac{\partial}{\partial w} be the relevant holomorphic vector field. Vanishing of the top log Bando–Futaki invariant. One should have

Flog;β0,β(ww,η)=Flog;β0,β(ww,ω)=0.\mathcal{F}_{\log;\,\beta_0,\beta_\infty}\left(w\frac{\partial}{\partial w},\eta\right)=\mathcal{F}_{\log;\,\beta_0,\beta_\infty}\left(w\frac{\partial}{\partial w},\omega\right)=0.

The claim predicts that, in this momentum-constructed conical higher cscK setting, the top log Bando–Futaki invariant is independent of the chosen metric in the Kähler class and vanishes. The source gives no proof and explicitly presents this as a belief motivated by the expected vanishing of the common value; its status is therefore open.
