Mohan Kumar's affineness conjecture for algebraic manifolds

About 20 years old · traced to

Let YY be an algebraic manifold of dimension nn, let XX be a completion of YY, and let DD be an effective boundary divisor with support X−YX-Y. For integers i,j≥0i,j\geq 0, write Hi(Y,ΩYj)H^i(Y,\Omega^j_Y) for the cohomology of the sheaf of differential jj-forms on YY, and let κ(D,X)\kappa(D,X) denote the DD-dimension. Mohan Kumar's affineness conjecture. The variety YY is affine if and only if

Hi(Y,ΩYj)=0for all j≥0, i>0,andκ(D,X)=n.H^i(Y,\Omega^j_Y)=0\quad\text{for all }j\geq 0,\ i>0,\qquad\text{and}\qquad \kappa(D,X)=n.

The statement extends the corresponding threefold criterion, which the source says was proved there, to algebraic manifolds in arbitrary dimension. Its status in higher dimension is left open in the source.
