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

From papers

Let DCnD\subset\mathbb{C}^n be a domain, and let φ\varphi be a strongly upper semi-continuous function on DD, meaning that for every xDx\in D and every subset SDS\subset D of measure zero,

lim supzDSzxφ(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 UDU\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 fL(n,1)2(U;loc)f\in L^2_{(n,1)}(U;\operatorname{loc}) whenever the right-hand side below is finite, with

Uuω2eφϕdVωUBω,ϕ1f,fωeφϕdVω,\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=[iˉϕ,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.
