K\"ahler manifolds and cross quadratic bisectional curvature

In this article we continue the study of the two curvature notions for K\"ahler manifolds introduced by the first named author earlier: the so-called cross quadratic bisectional curvature (CQB) and its dual ($^d$CQB). We first show that compact K\"ahler manifolds with CQB$_1>0$ or $\mbox{}^d$CQB$_1>0$ are Fano, while nonnegative CQB$_1$ or $\mbox{}^d$CQB$_1$ leads to a Fano manifold as well, provided that the universal cover does not contain a flat de Rham factor. For the latter statement we employ the K\"ahler-Ricci flow to deform the metric. We conjecture that all K\"ahler C-spaces will have nonnegative CQB and positive $^d$CQB. By giving irreducible such examples with arbitrarily large second Betti numbers we show that the positivity of these two curvature put no restriction on the Betti number. A strengthened conjecture is that any K\"ahler C-space will actually have positive CQB unless it is a ${\mathbb P}^1$ bundle. Finally we give an example of non-symmetric, irreducible K\"ahler C-space with $b_2>1$ and positive CQB, as well as compact non-locally symmetric K\"ahler manifolds with CQB$<0$ and $^d$CQB$<0$.
