Tangent splittings and product decompositions

What OpenAI claims

A splitting of the tangent bundle of a compact Kähler manifold into two integrable holomorphic subbundles induces a compatible product decomposition of its universal cover, proving the two-summand form of Beauville's splitting conjecture. On smooth rationally connected projective manifolds, both summands are automatically integrable, establishing Höring's conjecture and the corresponding product decomposition. (Lean)

   OpenAI's abstract We prove the two-summand form of Beauville's compatible splitting conjecture. If the tangent bundle of a compact connected Kähler manifold decomposes into two integrable holomorphic subbundles of positive rank, then its ordinary universal cover admits a product decomposition whose factor tangent bundles are the lifted specified summands.

2. Integrability of split tangent bundles on rationally connected manifolds

   23 September 2026 · Preprint, not peer reviewed · PDF

   OpenAI's abstract We prove that both summands of every specified holomorphic splitting of the tangent bundle of a smooth rationally connected projective complex manifold into two positive-rank subbundles are integrable. This proves Höring's conjecture on rationally connected projective manifolds. Höring's product theorem then gives a product decomposition compatible with the specified splitting.
