The Fano volume inequality conjecture

Let ZZ be a smooth Fano manifold of complex dimension n1n-1, with Fano index I(Z)mathrelZ>0I(Z)mathrel{\in}\mathbb{Z}_{>0}. Fano volume inequality conjecture.

I(Z)Zc1(Z)n1nCPn1c1(CPn1)n1=nn.I(Z)\int_Z c_1(Z)^{n-1}\leq n\int_{\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}}c_1(\mathbb{CP}^{n-1})^{n-1}=n^n.

Equality should hold if and only if Z=CPn1Z=\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}. This is equivalent to the claim that, for regular Reeb vector fields, the Bishop inequality never obstructs the existence of a compatible Sasaki–Einstein structure. The source presents it as a conjecture; its resolution is not indicated here.
