The converse L2L^2-optimality conjecture for strongly upper semi-continuous functions

Let D⊂CnD\subset\mathbb{C}^n be a domain, and let φ\varphi be a strongly upper semi-continuous function on DD, meaning that for every x∈Dx\in D and every subset S⊂DS\subset D of measure zero,

lim sup⁡z∈D∖Sz→xφ(z)=φ(x).\limsup_{\substack{z\in D\setminus S \\ z\to x}}\varphi(z)=\varphi(x).

Here, φ\varphi is L2L^2-optimal if, for every Stein coordinate domain U⊂DU\subset D, every smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function ϕ\phi on UU, and every Kähler metric ω\omega on UU, the equation ∂ˉu=f\bar\partial u=f can be solved for every ∂ˉ\bar\partial-closed (n,1)(n,1)-form f∈L(n,1)2(U;loc⁡)f\in L^2_{(n,1)}(U;\operatorname{loc}) whenever the right-hand side below is finite, with

∫U∣u∣ω2e−φ−ϕ dVω⩽∫U⟨Bω,ϕ−1f,f⟩ωe−φ−ϕ dVω,\int_U |u|^2_{\omega}e^{-\varphi-\phi}\,dV_{\omega}\leqslant\int_U\langle B_{\omega,\phi}^{-1}f,f\rangle_{\omega}e^{-\varphi-\phi}\,dV_{\omega},

where Bω,ϕ=[i∂∂ˉϕ,Λω]B_{\omega,\phi}=[i\partial\bar\partial\phi,\Lambda_{\omega}]. The converse L2L^2-optimality conjecture. If φ\varphi is L2L^2-optimal, then φ\varphi is plurisubharmonic.
