The Loewy filtration destabilisation conjecture for polarised varieties

Let (X,L)(X,L) be a polarised variety, and let the Loewy filtration be the canonical Aut(X,L)\operatorname{Aut}(X,L)-equivariant filtration of its co-ordinate ring, which is trivial if and only if Aut(X,L)\operatorname{Aut}(X,L) is reductive.

Loewy filtration destabilisation conjecture. If (X,L)(X,L) has non-reductive automorphism group, then the Loewy filtration destabilises (X,L)(X,L).

This conjecture predicts that the canonical filtration associated with a non-reductive automorphism group has strictly negative Donaldson–Futaki invariant, and therefore obstructs K-polystability. It is motivated by the expectation that a smooth polarised variety admitting a cscK metric should have reductive automorphism group, while the conjecture addresses the corresponding filtration-theoretic destabilisation.
