# Kobayashi’s canonical-ampleness conjecture

## One-sentence takeaway

OpenAI's result family 051 (Algebraic and complex geometry) claims: Every compact connected Kähler manifold of positive complex dimension with no nonconstant entire curve has ample canonical bundle and is therefore projective.

## Why it matters here

Pure mathematics with no direct engine use; it is in the library as part of the openai/math corpus, which records what an AI research model claims to have proved. More broadly, every card in this batch is evidence for the `ai-mathematical-reasoning` thread: per the repo README, an unreleased internal OpenAI model produced it, using about three hours of ChatGPT Pro thinking compute per result on average, across roughly 4,000 posed problems.

## Key ideas

- Family summary (repo): This proves Kobayashi's canonical-ampleness conjecture in the smooth compact Kähler setting.
- *Canonical ampleness of compact hyperbolic Kähler manifolds*: We prove that every compact connected Kähler manifold of positive complex dimension containing no nonconstant entire curve has ample canonical bundle and is projective. This resolves positively Kobayashi's canonical-ampleness conjecture in the smooth compact Kähler category.

## Caveats

- Unreviewed: these are AI-generated manuscripts posted to GitHub with no peer review or arXiv deposit. The repo README says results are "at different stages of verification" and that "some of the unformalized results could have issues."
- This card restates the repo's family summary, manuscript abstracts and Lean scope notes. It is not an independent check of the proofs, and the scope of each theorem is exactly as stated there.
- Lean: not formalized. The repo has no Lean development for this family, so the claim rests on the prose manuscript(s) alone.
