Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture for log-general-type varieties
Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture for log-general-type varieties
Let be a smooth complex projective variety, and let be a normal crossings divisor on . Suppose that is a variety of log-general type.
Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture. Every entire curve is algebraically degenerate; that is, the image of is contained in a proper algebraic subvariety of . Furthermore, there exists a proper algebraic subvariety such that the image of every entire curve is contained in .
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.
