Conjecture on k-positive symmetrized curvature operators and projective space

From papers

Let (Mn,ω)(M^n,\omega) be a compact Kähler manifold. The symmetrized curvature operator R\mathcal R is kk-positive if its relevant curvature positivity condition holds for kk directions.

Symmetrized curvature conjecture. If 1k[n2]1\leq k\leq \left[\frac{n}{2}\right] and MM has kk-positive symmetrized curvature operator R\mathcal R, then MM is biholomorphic to CPn\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n.

This proposes a characterization of complex projective space through positivity of the symmetrized curvature operator. The supplied text does not indicate whether the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
