Pseudo-effectivity conjecture for the second Chern class of varieties with nef anticanonical divisor

Let XX be a variety of dimension nn with only terminal singularities, and assume that KX-K_X is nef. Let H1,,Hn2H_1,\ldots,H_{n-2} be ample Cartier divisors on XX.

Pseudo-effectivity conjecture for the second Chern class.

c2(X)H1Hn20.c_2(X)\cdot H_1\cdots H_{n-2}\geq 0.

This conjecture concerns the pseudo-effectivity of the second Chern class for varieties with nef anticanonical divisor. The source explicitly says that it remains open when 1<ν(KX)<n1<\nu(-K_X)<n.
