The generalized Mukai conjecture

1 paper

Proves the generalized Mukai conjecture: every positive-dimensional smooth complex projective Fano manifold of dimension n, Picard number ρ and pseudoindex ι satisfies \(\rho(\iota-1)\le n\), with equality exactly for \((\mathbb P^{\iota-1})^\rho\). Here the pseudoindex is the least anticanonical degree of a rational curve.

The generalized Mukai conjecture

OpenAI · September 24, 2026

We prove the generalized Mukai conjecture: every positive-dimensional smooth complex Fano manifold of dimension n, Picard number ρ, and pseudoindex ι satisfies \(\rho(\iota-1)\le n\). Equality holds precisely for the product of ρ copies of \(\mathbb P^{\iota-1}\).
