The (−∞)(-\infty)-conjecture

About 19 years old · traced to

Let XX be a smooth projective variety. A variety is uniruled if there are a variety BB of dimension dim⁡X−1\dim X-1 and a dominant rational map B×P1⇢XB\times \mathbb{P}^1 \dashrightarrow X. The (−∞)(-\infty)-conjecture. If XX is not uniruled, then κ(X)≥0\kappa(X)\geq 0. This is the converse to the fact that uniruled varieties have Kodaira dimension −∞-\infty, and is stated as a consequence of the good minimal model conjecture; its resolution is not supplied here.
