The projective-space conjecture for Fano manifolds

Let XX be a Fano manifold of Picard number 11, meaning that KX-K_X is ample and the Picard number of XX is 11. Projective-space conjecture. If XX admits a non-isomorphic surjective endomorphism, then XX is a projective space. This long-standing conjecture is known in several classes, including almost homogeneous spaces, Fano threefolds of Picard number 11, certain Fano manifolds containing a rational curve with trivial normal bundle, and smooth hypersurfaces of projective space; it remains open in general.
