Sullivan's minimal Betti number conjecture for closed complex manifolds

Let MM be a closed complex manifold of real dimension 2n2n, and let the total Betti number of MM mean the sum of all its Betti numbers. Sullivan's conjecture. The minimal total Betti number of a 2n2n--dimensional closed complex manifold is

min{n+1,4}.\min\{n+1,4\}.

The conjecture predicts that the topological complexity of closed complex manifolds initially grows linearly with dimension and then stabilizes. The paper confirms it in dimensions 2n82n\geq 8, leaving dimension 66 as the remaining case.
