The structure conjecture for compact Kähler manifolds with semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature

Let XX be a compact Kähler manifold with semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature. Structure conjecture. There should exist a smooth locally trivial morphism XYX\to Y whose fibers FF are projective and rationally connected, with YY a compact Kähler manifold admitting a flat metric. Moreover, there should exist a complex torus TT and a finite étale cover TYT\to Y such that X=X×YTTX^*=X\times_YT\to T is locally trivial with rationally connected fiber FF. If XunivX_{\rm univ} denotes the universal cover of XX, one should also have XunivCm×FX_{\rm univ}\cong\mathbb C^m\times F, and the fundamental group of XX should be an extension of a finite group by Z2m\mathbb Z^{2m}. This is presented as a revised structure conjecture generalizing the Howard–Smyth–Wu structure theorem. The paper states that it is proved when a Mori contraction (MRC) fibration can be chosen as a morphism without indeterminacy, in particular when XX has nef anticanonical bundle, and for compact Kähler surfaces; the general conjecture remains open.
