Stability conjecture for normal bundles of general canonical curves

Let CC be a general canonical curve of genus g7g\geq 7, embedded by its canonical linear system in Pg1{\mathbf P}^{g-1}, and let NC/Pg1N_{C/{\mathbf P}^{g-1}} denote its normal bundle. Normal-bundle stability conjecture. The normal bundle

NC/Pg1N_{C/{\mathbf P}^{g-1}}

is stable. The genus-77 case is established in the source for curves with maximal Clifford index, while the assertion for general genus g7g\geq 7 remains open. It extends the known stability result in genus 77 beyond that case.
