The Bismut holonomy existence conjecture for compact complex manifolds

Let MM be a compact complex manifold of real dimension 2n2n with vanishing first Chern class. A hermitian structure on MM is a Riemannian metric compatible with its complex structure; its Bismut connection is the hermitian connection whose torsion is a three-form. The Bismut holonomy conjecture. There exists a hermitian structure on MM whose Bismut connection has restricted holonomy contained in SU(n)SU(n):

Hol0(Bismut)SU(n).\operatorname{Hol}_0(\nabla^{\mathrm{Bismut}})\subseteq SU(n).

This is proposed as a non-Kähler analogue of the Calabi conjecture, whose Kähler case is solved by Yau; the source does not provide a resolution for the non-Kähler assertion.
