Tangent splittings and product decompositions

A splitting of the tangent bundle of a compact Kähler manifold into two integrable holomorphic subbundles induces a compatible product decomposition of its universal cover, proving the two-summand form of Beauville's splitting conjecture. On smooth rationally connected projective manifolds, both summands are automatically integrable, establishing Höring's conjecture and the corresponding product decomposition.
