Campana–Peternell width-decreasing conjecture for CP-manifolds
Campana–Peternell width-decreasing conjecture for CP-manifolds
A CP-manifold is a Fano manifold with nef tangent bundle. For a CP-manifold of Picard number , choose minimal rational curves associated with its elementary extremal rays and define its width by
A CP-manifold is of flag type when all its elementary contractions are smooth -fibrations; equivalently, its width is zero.
Width-decreasing conjecture. Let be a CP-manifold which is not a product of positive-dimensional varieties. If , then there exists a surjective morphism from a CP-manifold , which is not a product of positive-dimensional varieties, such that .
This property would complete the proposed strategy for the Campana–Peternell Conjecture: the width would decrease until one reaches a flag-type manifold, which is a complete flag manifold by the theorem cited in the source. The source does not report a resolution of this conjecture.
