A general theme in differential/complex geometry is that curvature positivity conditions imposes strong geometric and topological constraint on the underlying manifold. In this talk, I will discuss a new curvature positivity condition in Hermitian geometry and prove a liouville type theorem for (1, 1)-forms for manifolds satisfying the positivity condition. I will discuss various interactions between this curvature condition and other notions in Hermitian geometry. Lastly, I will discuss some examples and potential applications.
