Yang's conjecture on quasi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature and rational connectedness
Let be a compact Kähler manifold, and let denote its holomorphic tangent bundle. A Hermitian metric on is assumed to be uniformly RC-quasi-positive, or equivalently in the stated alternative to have quasi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature. Yang's conjecture. If admits such a Hermitian metric, then is projective and rationally connected. This conjecture concerns a proposed differential-geometric criterion for projectivity and rational connectedness. The source proves a quasi-positive curvature-to-positivity result for vector bundles, but does not state that Yang's conjecture is resolved.
