Mumford's conjecture that varieties of Kodaira dimension minus infinity are uniruled

About 6 years old · traced to

Let XX be a smooth projective variety, and let κh(X)\kappa^h(X) denote its holomorphic Kodaira dimension. Mumford's conjecture. If

κh(X)=−∞,\kappa^h(X)=-\infty,

then XX is uniruled. This is the converse to the fact that uniruled manifolds have holomorphic Kodaira dimension −∞-\infty. It is known for projective 33-folds; the source states that in general it follows from the Abundance conjecture, so the general case remains open.
