Odd-Betti-number conjecture for Fano manifolds with nef tangent bundle

Let XX be a Fano manifold with nef tangent bundle TXTX, and let bi(X)b_i(X) denote its ii-th Betti number. Odd-Betti-number conjecture.

b2k+1(X)=0b_{2k+1}(X)=0

for every integer kk for which the index is defined. The claim is implied by either the cellular-decomposition or diagonal Hodge-number conjecture and hence holds whenever either of those conjectures holds, including the non-negative-bisectional-curvature case. It remains open in general.
