Kawakami–Totaro conjecture on endomorphisms of Fano varieties of Picard number 1
Kawakami–Totaro conjecture on endomorphisms of Fano varieties of Picard number 1
Let be a smooth Fano variety of Picard number over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. An endomorphism of degree greater than is a self-map of whose degree is greater than . Kawakami–Totaro conjecture. If admits an endomorphism of degree greater than , then
The conjecture predicts that projective space is the only smooth Fano variety of Picard number admitting a self-map of degree greater than . The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture is resolved.
