Characterization of projective spaces by positivity of Chern characters

About 5 years old · traced to

Let XX be an nn-dimensional Fano manifold satisfying condition Fk{\mathfrak {F}_k}, where

k=⌈log⁡2(n+1)⌉.k=\left \lceil{\log_2(n+1)}\right \rceil.

The projective-space characterization conjecture. Then X≅PnX\cong \mathbb{P}^n.

This conjecture proposes that sufficiently strong positivity of the Chern characters characterizes projective space among Fano manifolds. It strengthens the previously posed question concerning Fano nn-folds satisfying Fn{\mathfrak {F}_n}; the general statement remains open.
