p-lck with potential structure on LVMB manifolds

TL;DR
The work studies p-lck with potential structures on LVMB manifolds, clarifying that lck with potential is rare and, aside from diagonal Hopf manifolds, typically does not occur on LVMBs. It develops a discrete $oldsymbol{Z}^m$-presentation, identifies a rationality condition $(K)$ that yields a complex torus inside $ ext{Aut}(N,J)$, and establishes obstructions to lck metrics, implying that lck-with-potential is essentially restricted to diagonal Hopf cases. A novel condition $(H)$ is introduced to produce non-compact, non-Kähler lck covers of rank $oldsymbol{m-1}$, with corollaries for multiple covers; these results are shown to be deformation-stable and open. The paper also provides concrete LVMB examples, including non-LVM instances, to refute prior conjectures on the minimal covering rank $p$, and it proposes new conjectures supported by computational experiments. Overall, the work significantly advances understanding of when lck (and lck with potential) structures occur on LVMB manifolds and offers a framework for constructing and obstructing such structures via discrete automorphisms and covering theory.
Abstract
In this paper, I present a natural generalization of all the results from [6] to LVMB manifolds: to summarize, very few LVMB manifolds are lck, and none are lck with potential except for diagonal Hopf manifolds. Moreover, if $N$ is an LVMB manifold with a sufficient number of indispensable coordinates, and under a certain assumption $(H)$ (which may be artificial, as I conjecture) on the localization of the configuration $Λ$, there exists a non-compact and non-Kählerian $\mathbb{Z}^p$-lck with potential cover of $N$ with $p = m-1$. Furthermore, I show that the conjecture stated at the end of [5] (that $p$ is bounded below by $m-1$) is false, by exhibiting examples of LVMB manifolds that are $1$-lck with potential when $m\geq 3$ and $n>2m+1$. This leads to the formulation of a new conjecture: if assumption $(H)$ holds, then $N$ is $1$-lck with potential. Moreover, assumption $(H)$ seems entirely artificial. This conjecture is supported by several examples.
