A priori bounds for the almost-complex Calabi–Yau equation

Let XX be a compact 44-manifold, let Ω\Omega be a symplectic form on XX, and let P\mathcal{P} be a constraint manifold defined by an almost-complex structure tamed by Ω\Omega. Fix a smooth volume form. A priori-bounds conjecture. There are CC^{\infty} a priori bounds on every closed form ωP\omega\subset\mathcal{P} satisfying

[ω]=[Ω].[\omega]=[\Omega].

This conjecture predicts that taming by a symplectic form prevents blow-up of solutions in the prescribed cohomology class, extending the corresponding Calabi–Yau picture from integrable complex structures to almost-complex structures. The supplied text does not indicate whether the conjecture has been resolved.
