Debarre's ampleness conjecture for generic complete intersections

Let N2N\geqslant 2 be an integer and let cc satisfy N/2c<NN/2\leqslant c<N. For positive integers d1,,dcd_1,\dots,d_c, choose generic hypersurfaces

HiPCN(i=1,,c)H_i\subset\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb C}^N\qquad (i=1,\dots,c)

with degHi=di\deg H_i=d_i, and set

X:=H1Hc.X:=H_1\cap\cdots\cap H_c.

Debarre's ampleness conjecture. There is a positive lower bound d1d\gg1, depending on NN and cc, such that whenever d1,,dcdd_1,\dots,d_c\geqslant d, the cotangent bundle ΩX\Omega_X is ample.

This conjecture extends Debarre's result for complete intersections in abelian varieties and concerns the expected positivity of cotangent bundles of sufficiently high-degree generic complete intersections in projective space. The paper presents a proof in the stated range, but the supplied parser status gives no explicit resolution evidence.
