Campana–Demailly–Verbitsky conjecture on simple compact Kähler manifolds

Let XX be a simple compact Kähler manifold, meaning that a very general point of XX is not contained in any proper positive-dimensional analytic subvariety. Equivalently, XX admits no covering family of positive-dimensional analytic subvarieties.

Campana–Demailly–Verbitsky conjecture. Either XX has a finite étale cover which is bimeromorphic to a complex torus, or H0(X,ΩX2)H^0(X,\Omega_X^2) is generated by a holomorphic 22-form σ\sigma which is generically symplectic; that is, dimX=2m\dim X=2m is even and

σm0\sigma^{\wedge m}\neq 0

generically. In particular, one should have κ(X)=0\kappa(X)=0. If dimX\dim X is odd, then XX should be bimeromorphic to a complex torus, possibly after passing to a finite étale cover.

This is a conjectural classification of simple compact Kähler manifolds by the standard irreducible pieces of Kähler geometry. Its three-dimensional case was proved, while the general statement remains open.
