Abstract
Kodaira embedding theorem provides an effective characterization of projectivity of a Kahler manifold in terms the second cohomology. Recently X. Yang [21] proved that any compact Kahler manifold with positive holomorphic sectional curvature must be projective. This gives a metric criterion of the projectivity in terms of its curvature. In this note, we prove that any compact Kahler manifold with positive 2nd scalar curvature (which is the average of holomorphic sectional curvature over 2-dimensional subspaces of the tangent space) must be projective. In view of generic 2-tori being non-abelian, this new curvature characterization is sharp in certain sense.
