Donaldson's almost-Kähler a priori bounds conjecture

Let (M,J,ω)(M,J, \omega) be a compact almost-Kähler manifold, where JJ is an almost-complex structure and ω \omega is its fundamental 22-form. Let σ \sigma be a smooth volume form on (M,J,ω)(M,J, \omega) satisfying

Mσ=Mωn.\int_M \sigma=\int_M \omega^n.

Suppose that ω\overline{ \omega} is an almost-Kähler metric on (M,J)(M,J) such that

ωn=σ,[ω]=[ω],\overline{ \omega}^n= \sigma,\qquad [\overline{ \omega}]=[ \omega],

where the latter means that ωω\overline{ \omega}- \omega is a closed 22-form. Donaldson's conjecture. There are CC^{\infty} a priori bounds on ω\overline{ \omega} depending only on ω \omega, JJ, and σ \sigma. This conjecture is presented as a curvature-positivity-related motivation; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
