Surjective endomorphism conjecture for Fano manifolds of Picard number one

Let XX be a Fano manifold of Picard number one, meaning that its Picard number is one, and suppose that XX is different from the projective space. A surjective endomorphism is a morphism f:XXf:X\to X that is surjective.

Surjective endomorphism conjecture. Every surjective endomorphism f:XXf:X\to X must be bijective.

This conjecture concerns the rigidity of self-maps of Fano manifolds with Picard number one. It is still open in general, but has been affirmatively solved in dimensions at most 33.
