Integrability of split tangent bundles on rationally connected manifolds

OpenAI

If a smooth connected rationally connected projective complex manifold has a specified holomorphic splitting TX=E₁⊕E₂ into positive-rank subbundles, both summands are integrable.

Sources for this record

What was already known

Höring proved a compatible product when one summand is integrable and conjectured automatic integrability. Earlier Fano and low-rank cases needed extra assumptions.

AI involvement AI-led

OpenAI is credited as author, and its release identifies these manuscripts as internal-model outputs. The result-specific degree of human direction is undisclosed, supporting AI-led rather than autonomous involvement.

The manuscript is OpenAI-authored model output, with no contrary human-origin account for its tangent-box construction.

Importance Notable

Removes the integrability premise in Höring’s rationally connected projective setting.

Limitations

The Lean scope covers automatic integrability; the product corollary uses Höring’s earlier theorem. A distinct compact-Kähler universal-cover result has different assumptions.

Technical verification Formal (Lean)

The family scope note identifies a Lean formalization of automatic integrability for both summands, and the named solution theorem has a proof body. It excludes the product corollary and the different universal-cover theorem. This is source-reported; no local build was performed.

Evidence source

Checking a formal statement does not establish that it matches the original problem.

Human understanding Few

Few is the default when evidence for a higher level is insufficient. The manuscript's tangent-box and bracket-tensor explanation is model-authored; no identified human explains the central proof. This is a missing-evidence default.
