Weil's global Torelli conjectures for K3 surfaces

From papers

Let MM be a fixed differentiable manifold underlying a K3 surface, and let

be complex structures on $M$ with holomorphic two-forms

and '. Write [][] and []['] for their periods in P(H2(M,C)){\mathbb P}(H^2(M,{\mathbb C})), and let Diff(M){\rm Diff}(M) be the diffeomorphism group of MM, with identity component Diffo(M){\rm Diff_o}(M). Let O(H2(M,Z)){\rm O}(H^2(M,{\mathbb Z})) denote the group of lattice isomorphisms of H2(M,Z)H^2(M,{\mathbb Z}). Weil's global Torelli conjectures. i) If C[σ]=C[σ]H2(M,C){\mathbb C}[\sigma]={\mathbb C}[\sigma']\subset H^2(M,{\mathbb C}), then there exists fDiffo(M)f\in{\rm Diff_o}(M) such that σ=fσ\sigma=f^*\sigma'. ii) If [σ]=g([σ])[\sigma]=g([\sigma']) for a lattice isomorphism gO(H2(M,Z))g\in{\rm O}(H^2(M,{\mathbb Z})), then there exists fDiff(M)f\in{\rm Diff}(M) such that σ=fσ\sigma=f^*\sigma'. The second version is established by the classical Global Torelli Theorem, whereas the first remains open as stated; the source itself notes that it requires additional qualifications to have a chance of being true.
