Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a compact Kähler manifold and let DD be a smooth divisor. Let TT be a maximal compact torus in the reduced automorphism group Aut⁡red(X,D)\operatorname{Aut}_{\mathrm{red}}(X,D). Write ℓext\ell^{\mathrm{ext}} for the twisted extremal function associated to the twist 2π[D]2\pi[D], and ℓDext\ell^{\mathrm{ext}}_D for the extremal function intrinsic to (D,[ω]∣D,T)(D,[\omega]|_D,T). A TT-invariant (1,1,2π[D])(1,1,2\pi[D])-extremal metric is a Poincaré-type Kähler metric whose potential satisfies the corresponding twisted extremal equation. Existence conjecture for (1,1,2π[D])(1,1,2\pi[D])-extremal Poincaré-type Kähler metrics. The manifold XX admits such a metric in [ω][\omega] if and only if: (i) the twisted K-energy M1,ℓext2π[D]\mathcal{M}_{1,\ell^{\mathrm{ext}}}^{2\pi[D]} is coercive on E1,T(X,ω)\mathcal{E}^{1,T}(X,\omega) relative to TCT^\mathbb{C}; (ii) the extremal K-energy M1,ℓDext\mathcal{M}_{1,\ell^{\mathrm{ext}}_D} is coercive on E1,T(D,ω∣D)\mathcal{E}^{1,T}(D,\omega|_D) relative to TCT^\mathbb{C}; and (iii) on DD,

ℓDext−ℓext∣D=c>0\ell^{\mathrm{ext}}_D-\ell^{\mathrm{ext}}|_D=c>0

for some constant cc. The conjecture proposes an analytic characterization of these extremal Poincaré-type metrics through global coercivity, boundary coercivity, and a boundary stability condition. It is motivated by the relationship between Poincaré-type extremal metrics and relative K-stability, as well as by known necessary conditions and toric results, but the supplied source does not establish the claimed equivalence.
