Optimality of the lower d1d_1JJ comparison constant

From papers

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a Kähler manifold of complex dimension nn, and let mm be the constant in the lower bound comparing the d1d_1 distance to the JJ-functional on the level set I(u)=0I(u)=0. The conjectured value is

m=2n+1(nn+1)n.m=\frac{2}{n+1}\left(\frac{n}{n+1}\right)^n.

Optimality conjecture. The constant m=2n+1(nn+1)nm=\frac{2}{n+1}\left(\frac{n}{n+1}\right)^n is optimal for all Kähler manifolds (X,ω)(X,\omega).

This value is known to be optimal in the toric setting, while its optimality for general Kähler manifolds remains open.
