The l-Fano characterization conjecture for projective space

Let XX be an nn-dimensional smooth ll-Fano variety, meaning that XX is smooth and Fano and its Chern characters chi(X)\text{ch}_i(X) are positive for every 2il2\leqslant i\leqslant l, where positivity means

chi(X)Z>0\text{ch}_i(X)\cdot Z>0

for every effective ii-cycle ZZ. The l-Fano characterization conjecture. If llog2(n+2)l\geqslant\lceil\log_2(n+2)\rceil, then

XPn.X\simeq\mathbb{P}^n.

The conjecture seeks to characterize projective space among smooth ll-Fano varieties once the Chern-character positivity index is sufficiently large relative to the dimension. The source attributes it to earlier work, but provides no information about its resolution.
