The projective-space conjecture for smooth Fano varieties
The projective-space conjecture for smooth Fano varieties
Let be a smooth Fano variety of Picard number one, meaning that is ample and . Suppose that admits a non-isomorphic surjective endomorphism . The projective-space conjecture. Then is a projective space. This is a long-standing conjecture from the 1980s; it is known for homogeneous spaces, Fano threefolds of Picard number one, and hypersurfaces of projective space, but remains open in general.
