Does a complex structure exist on the 6-dimensional sphere?

AI による概要
complex structure exists on the 6-dimensional sphere (\(S^{6}\)) is historically one of the most famous open problems in differential geometry, and its status is currently a subject of intense active verification.

Hopf problem—remained entirely unsolved. However, in August 2026, mathematician Levent Alpöge announced a purported proof asserting that a complex structure does exist on \(S^{6}\). Because this 100+ page construction relied heavily on AI assistance (specifically using Claude), and given the problem's long history of flawed or retracted proofs, the mathematical community is currently rigorously scrutinizing the paper to see if it holds up.

The Context and Core Challenge
To understand why this problem is so difficult, it helps to break down the distinction between an almost complex structure and a true complex structure:

・The Topological Constraint \(S^{2}\) and \(S^{6}\) only): In 1953, Armand Borel and Jean-Pierre Serre proved that among all even-dimensional spheres, only \(S^{2}\) and \(S^{6}\) can admit an almost complex structure (a smoothly varying way to multiply tangent vectors by \(\sqrt{-1}\)).

・The Octonion Connection on \(S^{6}\): The standard almost complex structure on \(S^{6}\) is beautifully constructed using the multiplication rules of octonions (8-dimensional numbers).

・The Integrability Failure:For an almost complex structure to be a true complex structure (allowing \(S^{6}\) to be treated as a complex manifold with holomorphic coordinates), it must be integrable. This requires its Nijenhuis tensor to vanish. The famous octonional almost complex structure on \(S^{6}\) is not integrable, leaving the core question open.
