The nef-canonical-bundle conjecture on semi-orthogonal decompositions

Let XX be a smooth projective variety. Let KXK_X be its canonical bundle and let h0(KX)h^0(K_X) denote the dimension of its global sections. A line bundle is nef if it has nonnegative degree on every curve. Nef-canonical-bundle conjecture. If KXK_X is nef and

h0(KX)>0,h^0(K_X)>0,

then XX admits no non-trivial semi-orthogonal decomposition. This is presented as a conjecture known among experts; the supplied source gives no resolution or partial status beyond the motivation from semi-orthogonal decompositions and canonical divisors.
