Quasi-positive curvature and vanishing theorems

In this paper, we consider mixed curvature Ca,b, which is a convex combination of Ricci curvature and holomorphic sectional curvature introduced by Chu-Lee-Tam. We prove that if a compact complex manifold M admits a K\"{a}hler metric with quasi-positive mixed curvature and 3a+2b≥0, then it is projective. If a,b≥0, then M is rationally connected. As a corollary, the same result holds for k-Ricci curvature. We also show that any compact K\"{a}hler manifold with quasi-positive 2-scalar curvature is projective. Lastly, we generalize the result to the Hermitian case. In particular, any compact Hermitian threefold with quasi-positive real bisectional curvature have vanishing Hodge number h2,0. Furthermore, if it is K\"{a}hlerian, it is projective.
