The generalized LeBrun equality for compact complex manifolds

From papers

Let MM be a compact complex nn-manifold, and let KMK_M denote its canonical bundle. Define the canonical volume by CanVol(M)\mathrm{CanVol}(M) and the complex minimal volume and associated invariants by MinVolC(M)\mathrm{MinVol}_C(M), IC(M)\mathcal{I}_C(M), and IC(M)\mathcal{I}_C^-(M). The equality established in the Kähler case with nef canonical bundle is

MinVolC(M)=IC(M)=IC(M)=(nπ)nn!CanVol(M).\mathrm{MinVol}_C(M)=\mathcal{I}_C(M)=\mathcal{I}_C^-(M)=\frac{(n\pi)^n}{n!}\mathrm{CanVol}(M).

Generalized LeBrun equality. The equality above should hold for any compact complex nn-manifold, at least when KMK_M is big.

The claim extends the stated theorem for compact Kähler manifolds whose canonical bundle is nef; its validity beyond that setting, including the case of compact complex manifolds with big canonical bundle, remains open.
