Joyce's asymptotic exactness conjecture for the operator D

About 26 years old · traced to

Let MM be a hyperkähler manifold that is AC of order l≥1l\geq 1, and let k≥−1k\geq -1 be an integer. Let x:M→Hx:M\rightarrow\mathbb{H} be a smooth function such that D(x)D(x) is a 11-form on MM, where DD is the operator of Section 3.1. Suppose that

∇aD(x)=O(tk−a−1)\nabla^aD(x)=O(t^{k-a-1})

for a=0,1,2a=0,1,2, where ∇\nabla is the Levi-Civita connection on MM. Asymptotic exactness conjecture. There exists a smooth function y:M→Hy:M\rightarrow\mathbb{H} such that D(x)=D(y)D(x)=D(y) and y=O(tk)y=O(t^k). Moreover, if xx takes values in the imaginary quaternions I\mathbb{I}, then yy can be chosen to take values in I\mathbb{I}. This is an analytic conjecture modeled on results for harmonic functions of polynomial growth on asymptotically flat manifolds; the difficulty is to obtain the corresponding result for the operator DD on asymptotically conical manifolds.
