Kollár's divisor criterion for genus one fibrations of Calabi–Yau manifolds

About 8 years old · traced to

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau nn-fold. A divisor D∈H2(X,Q)D\in H^{2}(X,\mathbb{Q}) satisfies the numerical conditions

Dn=0,Dn−1≠0,D^n=0,\qquad D^{n-1}\neq 0,

and is nonnegative on every algebraic curve C⊂XC\subset X if D⋅C≥0D\cdot C\geq 0.

Kollár's conjecture. XX is genus one (or elliptically) fibered if and only if there exists a divisor D∈H2(X,Q)D\in H^{2}(X,\mathbb{Q}) satisfying

Dn=0,Dn−1≠0,D^n=0,\qquad D^{n-1}\neq 0,

and D⋅C≥0D\cdot C\geq 0 for all algebraic curves C⊂XC\subset X.

This criterion characterizes genus one or elliptic fibrations using the intersection form and positivity against algebraic curves. The source presents it as a conjecture attributed to Kollár; no resolution status is supplied here.
