Berman's Gibbs stability criterion for Fano varieties

Let XX be a Fano variety, and let b3(X)b3(X) denote the Gibbs stability invariant. Recall that K-stability and K-semistability are algebraic stability conditions for Fano varieties. Berman's conjecture. For a Fano variety XX, b3(X)>1b3(X)>1 if and only if XX is K-stable, and b3(X)1b3(X)\geq 1 if and only if XX is K-semistable. The conjecture would identify the probabilistic Gibbs stability invariant with the algebraic K-stability threshold and is not known for Fano varieties in general.
