The constant kth-mixed curvature conjecture for compact Hermitian manifolds

Let (Mn,g)(M^{n},g) be a compact Hermitian manifold with n2n\geq2. For k{1,2,3,4}k\in\{1,2,3,4\} and β0\beta\neq0, define the kth-mixed curvature by

Cα,β(k)(X)=αXg2Ric(k)(X,X)+βH(X),\mathcal{C}^{(k)}_{\alpha,\beta}(X)=\frac{\alpha}{|X|^{2}_{g}}Ric^{(k)}(X,\overline{X})+\beta H(X),

where Ric(k)Ric^{(k)} is the kth Chern Ricci curvature and HH is the holomorphic sectional curvature. The constant kth-mixed curvature conjecture. If Cα,β(k)=c\mathcal{C}^{(k)}_{\alpha,\beta}=c is constant and c0c\neq0, then gg is Kähler. The conjecture generalizes the mixed-curvature conjecture, which is known in complex dimension 22 and for several special higher-dimensional classes; the general kth-mixed case remains open in the supplied text.
