The positive Chern character conjecture for Fano manifolds

About 2 years old · traced to

Let XX be a Fano manifold of dimension nn. Here chk(X){\rm ch}_k(X) denotes the degree-kk component of the Chern character, and positivity is understood in the sense used for Chern characters of Fano manifolds.

Positive Chern character conjecture. If chk(X){\rm ch}_k(X) is positive for every k≤nk\le n, then

X≃Pn.X\simeq \mathbb{P}^n.

More strongly, if chk(X){\rm ch}_k(X) is positive for every

k≤⌈log⁡2(n+2)⌉,k\le \left\lceil \log_2(n+2)\right\rceil,

then X≃PnX\simeq\mathbb{P}^n.

Positivity conditions on Chern characters are known to be restrictive, with classification results in several cases involving large index or low-degree Chern characters. The conjecture proposes that positivity through degree ⌈log⁡2(n+2)⌉\lceil\log_2(n+2)\rceil already characterizes projective space.
