Read the background

Every smooth connected complex projective contact Fano manifold of complex dimension at least three is contact-isomorphic, with its specified contact distribution, to the adjoint variety of a simple complex Lie algebra.

Why it matters

If correct, resolves contact Fano homogeneity and yields the Riemannian LeBrun–Salamon classification as a consequence.

What counts as progress

Is every smooth projective contact Fano manifold an adjoint variety of a simple complex Lie algebra?
