Harmonic metric conjecture for non-Hermitian Yang–Mills connections

From papers

Let MM be a compact Kähler manifold and let B,\langle {\cal B},\nabla\rangle be a bundle with a non-Hermitian Yang–Mills (1,1)(1,1)-connection. A subsheaf is called destabilizing when its slope is at least the slope of B{\cal B}, and B,\langle {\cal B},\nabla\rangle is called \nabla-stable when it has no destabilizing subsheaves. A Hermitian metric hh is harmonic when ΛΞ=0\Lambda\Xi=0, where Ξ\Xi is the pseudocurvature of B,,h\langle {\cal B},\nabla,h\rangle.

Harmonic metric conjecture. There exists a harmonic metric hh on B{\cal B} if and only if B{\cal B} is a direct sum of \nabla-stable bundles. If B{\cal B} itself is \nabla-stable, then hh is unique up to a constant factor.

This is a non-Hermitian Yang–Mills analogue of the correspondence between stability and harmonic metrics for flat bundles. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
