Acknowledgements
We would like to thank Prof. Gian Pietro Pirola for the many stimulating discussions around this topic, especially for presenting to us several counterexamples to the original conjecture of Xiao and for suggesting the new proof of the result of Ginensky (Theorem 2.4). We are also grateful to the referees for their suggestions, which helped us to improve the exposition of our results.
