The projective-space conjecture for Fano manifolds
The projective-space conjecture for Fano manifolds
Let be a Fano manifold of Picard number , meaning that is ample and the Picard number of is . Projective-space conjecture. If admits a non-isomorphic surjective endomorphism, then is a projective space. This long-standing conjecture is known in several classes, including almost homogeneous spaces, Fano threefolds of Picard number , certain Fano manifolds containing a rational curve with trivial normal bundle, and smooth hypersurfaces of projective space; it remains open in general.
