Lee–Weinberg–Yi specialization conjecture for monopole metrics

Let μ0g\mu_0\in\mathfrak g be nonzero, let μ:[0,δ]g\mu:[0,\delta]\to\mathfrak g be a regular deformation of μ0\mu_0, meaning that μ(t)\mu(t) is regular for all t>0t>0, and set Mt=M(u,μt,k){\mathcal M}_t={\mathcal M}(u,\mu_t,k) with gtg_t its L2L^2 metric. Lee–Weinberg–Yi conjecture. Given any nonzero μ0g\mu_0\in\mathfrak g, there is a regular deformation μt\mu_t such that

(Mt,gt) tends to (M0,g0) as t0.({\mathcal M}_t,g_t)\text{ tends to }({\mathcal M}_0,g_0)\text{ as }t\to0.

This predicts continuity of the hyperKähler monopole metrics under specialization from regular to possibly singular symmetry breaking; the supplied text presents it as an interesting conjecture.
