Schwede–Smith conjecture on globally F-regular type varieties

Let XX be a variety over \a0C\a0\mathbb{C} that is of globally FF-regular type, meaning that it has a model over a finitely generated \a0Z\a0\mathbb{Z}-algebra whose reductions are globally FF-regular for a suitable dense set of closed points.

Schwede–Smith conjecture. XX is of Fano type.

This conjecture relates characteristic-pp positivity properties to the birational-geometric notion of Fano type. The source states that it is proved for surfaces, while the general case is not resolved there.
