Vanishing real bisectional curvature conjecture for compact Hermitian manifolds

Let MnM^n be a compact Hermitian manifold with nn. Its real bisectional curvature is the curvature notion denoted by BgB_g in the source, and let RR be the Chern curvature tensor.

Vanishing real bisectional curvature conjecture. If the real bisectional curvature is constantly equal to cc, then c=0c=0 and

R=0.R=0.

The preceding theorem shows that constant real bisectional curvature satisfies c0c 0 and, when c=0c=0, imposes balancedness, vanishing first, second, and third Ricci tensors, and a skew-symmetry of the Chern curvature. The conjecture asks for the stronger conclusion that the full Chern curvature vanishes; the source does not give a resolution.
