The Campana-Peternell conjecture on Fano manifolds with nef tangent bundle, in dimension six

Theorem 1.1: every smooth connected complex projective Fano sixfold with nef tangent bundle is rational homogeneous. The new step is Picard number one and pseudoindex five, where a characteristic-number identity 32−20u+3u2=032-20u+3u^2=0 forces the VMRT to be the Segre threefold P1×P2⊂P5\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^2\subset\mathbb P^5, so X≅Gr(2,5)X\cong\mathrm{Gr}(2,5). Corollary 1.2: a compact Kahler manifold with nef tangent bundle and dim⁡X−q~(X)≤6\dim X-\tilde q(X)\le6 has universal cover F×Cq~(X)F\times\mathbb C^{\tilde q(X)} with FF rational homogeneous. Dimensions seven and higher remain open.
