The l-Fano characterization conjecture for projective space

About 4 years old · traced to

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 2⩽i⩽l2\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 l⩾⌈log⁡2(n+2)⌉l\geqslant\lceil\log_2(n+2)\rceil, then

X≃Pn.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.
