Weil–Petersson completeness conjecture for Calabi–Yau threefold moduli

A polarized Calabi–Yau manifold is a pair (X,ω)(X,\omega) consisting of a compact algebraic manifold XX with zero first Chern class and a Kähler form ωH2(X,Z)\omega\in H^2(X,\mathbb Z). Let M{\mathcal M} be the universal deformation space of (X,ω)(X,\omega), equipped with its Weil–Petersson metric GWPG_{WP}. In complex dimension three, M{\mathcal M} is a projective special Kähler manifold. Weil–Petersson completeness conjecture. If the moduli space M{\mathcal M} 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.
