Sato's conjecture for smooth Fano varieties of Picard number one
Sato's conjecture for smooth Fano varieties of Picard number one
Let be a smooth Fano variety of Picard number one, and suppose that admits a non-isomorphic surjective endomorphism .
Sato's conjecture. is a projective space.
This is a long-standing conjecture from the 1980s and is presented as a special case or extension of the rationally connected variety question. The supplied text does not state that it has been resolved in general.
