Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture for log-general-type varieties

Let XX be a smooth complex projective variety, and let DD be a normal crossings divisor on XX. Suppose that XDX\setminus D is a variety of log-general type.

Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture. Every entire curve f:CXDf: \mathbb{C} \to X\setminus D is algebraically degenerate; that is, the image of ff is contained in a proper algebraic subvariety of XX. Furthermore, there exists a proper algebraic subvariety ZXZ \subset X such that the image of every entire curve f:CXf: \mathbb{C} \to X is contained in ZZ.

This conjecture predicts the hyperbolic behavior of entire curves on quasi-projective varieties of log-general type. The source presents it as the motivating conjecture for its results on hyperbolicity and algebraic degeneracy; no resolution status is supplied here.
