The product decomposition conjecture for the kappa-zero case

Let XX satisfy the assumptions that its cotangent bundle contains a nef locally free subsheaf LΩX1L^*\subset\Omega_X^1 proportional to KXK_X. If κ(X)=0\kappa(X)=0, then the product decomposition conjecture asserts that KX0K_X\equiv0 and that there is a finite étale cover γ:X~X\gamma:\widetilde X\to X such that γ(L)=OX~\gamma^*(L^*)=\mathcal O_{\widetilde X} and X~=A×Y\widetilde X=A\times Y, where AA is Abelian and YY is simply connected. The paper proves this conjecture in several cases, including dimX4\dim X\leq4, but leaves it open in general.
