Collins–Jacob–Yau hypercritical-phase conjecture

Let (Xn,ω)(X^n,\omega) be a connected, compact Kähler manifold, let ΩH1,1(X,R)\Omega\in \mathrm{H}^{1,1}(X,\mathbb{R}), and let ZV(Ω)Z_V(\Omega) be the central charge associated with an irreducible subvariety VXV\subset X. Let HΩ\mathcal{H}_{\Omega} denote the space of admissible representatives of Ω\Omega.

Collins–Jacob–Yau hypercritical-phase conjecture. The set HΩ\mathcal{H}_{\Omega} is non-empty and Ω\Omega has hypercritical phase if and only if, for every irreducible subvariety VV of XX,

Im(ZV(Ω))>0.\operatorname{Im}\bigl(Z_V(\Omega)\bigr)>0.

This conjecture characterizes hypercritical classes through positivity of their central charges on all irreducible subvarieties. The supplied text presents it as a further conjecture of Collins–Jacob–Yau and cites later discussion, but gives no resolution status.
