Tosatti's minimal-singularities conjecture for degenerate Ricci-flat limits

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau manifold, let [α]C[\alpha]\in\overline{\mathcal{C}} be a nef class, and let {[αi]}i0C\{[\alpha_i]\}_{i\geqslant0}\subset\mathcal{C} satisfy [αi][α][\alpha_i]\to[\alpha]. Let T[α]\mathcal{T}_{[\alpha]} denote the relevant space of limiting currents in the class [α][\alpha]. A current has minimal singularities in [α][\alpha] if its potential is less singular than the potential of every other closed positive current in that class.

Tosatti's minimal-singularities conjecture. If ηT[α]\eta\in\mathcal{T}_{[\alpha]} and

CY([αi])η\mathrm{CY}([\alpha_i])\to\eta

in the weak topology, then η\eta has minimal singularities in the class [α][\alpha].

The conjecture is known for sequences [αi]=[α]+εi[ω][\alpha_i]=[\alpha]+\varepsilon_i[\omega] with εi>0\varepsilon_i>0 and εi0\varepsilon_i\to0, but remains open for more general sequences.
