Homogeneity conjecture for projectively induced toric Kähler–Einstein metrics

Every projectively induced Kähler–Einstein metric on a smooth compact toric manifold is, up to automorphisms, a product of Fubini–Study metrics on projective spaces with matched multiples; equivalently, its projective immersion is given by a complete Veronese–Segre system up to automorphisms. In particular, the underlying manifold is biholomorphic to a product CPn1×⋯×CPnr\mathbb{CP}^{n_1}\times\cdots\times\mathbb{CP}^{n_r}.

A new paper claims to settle the compact toric version of the conjecture, while broader homogeneity questions remain outside its scope.

The conjecture asserts that projectively induced toric Kähler–Einstein metrics have the rigid product-homogeneous form predicted by the associated classification. The newer claim concerns the compact toric setting, not the broader homogeneity conjecture.

Known results

  • The conjecture was known in complex dimension n=2n=2.
  • The toric case was known through dimension n=4n=4.
  • A 2024 paper proved the stated conjecture for n≤6n\leq 6.
  • Salis (2016) proved related rotation-invariant cases under codimension at most 33.

September 16, 2026 claimed resolution

Shaosai Huang’s paper Generalized Einstein Laurent polynomials, Toric Kähler-Einstein Rigidity, and Finite Exponential Families claims a proof of the compact toric homogeneity conjecture and related Manno–Salis conjectures, together with finite-support cases of a question of Casalis. The claim is not independently verified in the retrieved material.

Current status (as of September 2026): the compact toric conjecture is claimed solved by Huang’s paper but remains unverified; broader homogeneity questions remain open or outside the paper’s scope.
