Campana's classification conjecture for simple compact Kähler manifolds

About 13 years old · traced to

Let XX be a simple compact Kähler manifold of dimension nn, and write q=h1(X,OX)q=h^1(X,\mathcal O_X) and κ(X)\kappa(X) for its irregularity and Kodaira dimension. A holomorphic 22-form σ\sigma on XX is generically symplectic when n=2mn=2m is even and

⋀mσ≠0.\bigwedge^m\sigma\neq 0.

An irreducible hyperkähler manifold is a hyperkähler manifold with finite fundamental group and h2,0(X)=1h^{2,0}(X)=1. Campana's classification conjecture. The following should hold: (1) either XX has a finite étale cover bimeromorphic to a complex torus, or H0(X,ΩX2)H^0(X,\Omega_X^2) is generated by a generically symplectic form σ\sigma; consequently κ(X)=0\kappa(X)=0, and if dim⁡X\dim X is odd then XX should be bimeromorphic to a complex torus, possibly after a finite étale cover; (2) if XX contains no nontrivial subvarieties, then XX should be either a complex torus or an irreducible hyperkähler manifold, with KXK_X trivial and the two cases distinguished by q>0q>0 and q=0q=0; (3) if XX is generically symplectic, then π1(X)\pi_1(X) should be finite of cardinality at most 2m2^m, where 2m=n2m=n. These assertions form a proposed higher-dimensional analogue of the classification of simple surfaces: the known examples are general complex tori, K3K3 surfaces, and general members of hyperkähler deformation families. The classification is open in dimensions at least three; the cited examples show that general deformations of Hilbert schemes of K3K3 surfaces can have no subvarieties, while generalized Kummer varieties exhibit additional subvarieties.
