Rigidity conjecture for Calabi–Yau families with isolated singularities

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let f ⁣:(X,L)→Sf\colon (\mathcal{X},\mathcal{L})\to S be a flat family of nn-dimensional polarized smooth Calabi–Yau manifolds over a quasiprojective curve SS. Let S‾\overline{S} be a projective smooth compactification of SS with a boundary point 0∈S‾∖S0\in\overline{S}\setminus S. Suppose that the family extends to a flat family X‾→S‾\overline{\mathcal{X}}\to\overline{S} such that the total space X‾\overline{\mathcal{X}} is smooth and the singular fiber X0=f−1(0)X_0=f^{-1}(0) has only isolated singularities. Rigidity conjecture. Under these assumptions, the family f ⁣:(X,L)→Sf\colon (\mathcal{X},\mathcal{L})\to S is rigid. Known nonrigid Calabi–Yau families tend to have singular fibers whose singular loci have positive dimension; the conjecture proposes that isolated singularities in a suitable compactification obstruct non-rigidity. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
