Read the background

If the tangent bundle of a compact connected Kähler manifold splits into two positive-rank integrable holomorphic subbundles, its ordinary universal cover is a product whose tangent factors lift the specified summands.

Why it matters

If correct, resolves the two-summand integrable form of Beauville’s compatible splitting question.

What counts as progress

Does a two-summand integrable holomorphic tangent splitting lift to a compatible product of the universal cover?
