Existence of smooth ancient Kähler–Ricci flows desingularizing orbifold shrinking solitons
Let be a Kähler Ricci shrinking soliton orbifold singular at , with singularity group in . Desingularization conjecture. There exists a smooth ancient Kähler–Ricci flow whose tangent soliton at is . This conjecture proposes that orbifold singularities of four-dimensional Kähler Ricci shrinking solitons can arise as backward tangent solitons of smooth ancient flows, complementing the study of orbifold singularities as models for finite-time Ricci-flow singularities. The supplied context discusses stability of such orbifold singularities but gives no resolution of this existence claim.
