Weil–Petersson completeness conjecture for Calabi–Yau threefold moduli
Weil–Petersson completeness conjecture for Calabi–Yau threefold moduli
A polarized Calabi–Yau manifold is a pair consisting of a compact algebraic manifold with zero first Chern class and a Kähler form . Let be the universal deformation space of , equipped with its Weil–Petersson metric . In complex dimension three, is a projective special Kähler manifold. Weil–Petersson completeness conjecture. If the moduli space of a Calabi–Yau threefold is complete with respect to the Weil–Petersson metric, then it is locally symmetric. The question concerns whether completeness of the Weil–Petersson metric can occur; in the threefold case, the conjecture predicts that any complete example must have locally symmetric geometry.
