Liouville conjecture for compact generalized Calabi–Yau manifolds

Let (Z,J)(Z,\mathcal{J}) be a compact generalized Calabi–Yau manifold of real dimension 2n2n, and let ϕ\phi be a global, closed, nowhere-vanishing differential form representing J\mathcal{J}. Suppose that ff is a nowhere-zero smooth complex-valued function such that

d(fϕ)=0.d(f\phi)=0.

Liouville conjecture. The function ff is constant. Equivalently, a compact generalized Calabi–Yau manifold has no nonconstant nowhere-zero smooth rescaling of a global closed generator of its generalized Calabi–Yau spinor line that remains closed.

The conjecture would give uniqueness, up to multiplication by constants, of the projective cohomology class associated with a generalized Calabi–Yau structure. The source notes that symplectic manifolds, compact Calabi–Yau manifolds, products, and BB-field transformations of Liouville generalized Calabi–Yau manifolds satisfy the condition, but gives no resolution of the conjecture.
