Iskovskikh's stability conjecture for tangent bundles of Fano manifolds

Let XX be a Fano manifold, meaning a smooth projective variety whose anti-canonical divisor KX-K_X is ample. Let ρX\rho_X be the Picard number of XX, and let ΘX\Theta_X denote its tangent bundle. Assume that

ρX=1.\rho_X=1.

Iskovskikh's stability conjecture. The tangent bundle ΘX\Theta_X is (semi)stable.

The conjecture connects stability of tangent bundles with the geometry of Fano manifolds and was attributed to Iskovskikh. It has been confirmed for Fano manifolds of index one, smooth complete intersections in projective space, and further classes; the paper's abstract states that the conjecture is disproved by examples with unstable tangent bundles.
