Classification conjecture for toric 2-Fano manifolds

About 4 years old · traced to

A toric 2-Fano manifold is a smooth projective toric variety that is Fano and whose second Chern character satisfies

ch⁡2(X)⋅S>0\operatorname{ch}_2(X)\cdot S>0

for every surface S⊂XS\subset X. Projective spaces are examples of toric 2-Fano manifolds.

Toric 2-Fano classification conjecture. The only toric 2-Fano manifolds are projective spaces.

The conjecture would complete the classification of toric 2-Fano manifolds. Despite extensive work on special classes, projective spaces remain the only known examples.
