The uniformization theorem for compact Kähler manifolds of nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature (Q1101709)

The author proves the following theorem: The universal covering space of a compact Kähler manifold of nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature is biholomorphically isometric to \({\mathbb{C}}^ k\times P_{n_ 1}(C)\times...\times P_{n_{\ell}}(C)\times M_ 1\times...\times M_ p,\) where \(M_ i\) are irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric spaces of rank \(>1\) and \(P_{n_ i}(C)\) are complex projective spaces with Kaehler metrics of nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvatures. The proof depends on \textit{S. Mori}'s solution to the Frankel conjecture [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 110, 593-606 (1979; Zbl 0423.14006)], the evolution equation of \textit{R. S. Hamilton} [J. Differ. Geom. 17, 255-306 (1982; Zbl 0504.53034)], the methods of \textit{N. Mok} and \textit{J. Zhong} [ibid. 23, 15-67 (1986; Zbl 0596.53053)] for the Einstein case and the characterization of locally symmetric spaces by their holonomy groups of \textit{M. Berger} [Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 83, 279-330 (1955; Zbl 0068.360)].
