Abstract

Generalizing a question of Mukai, we conjecture that a Fano manifold X with Picard number and pseudo-index satisfies ( - 1) <= dim(X). We prove this inequality in several situations: X is a Fano manifold of dimension <= 4, X is a toric Fano manifold of dimension <= 7 or X is a toric Fano manifold of arbitrary dimension with >= dim(X) / 3 + 1. Finally, we offer a new approach to the general case.
