Title

Smooth projective D-affine varieties

Abstract

A D-affine variety is such a variety X that the category of D_X-modules behaves like the category of O_X-modules of an affine variety. Beilinson and Bernstein showed that complex generalized flag varieties are D-affine. It is a folklore conjecture that any smooth projective D-affine variety is of this form. I will talk about current state of this problem. In positive characteristic the problem is related to a new generalization of Miyaoka’s generic semipositivity theorem.
