de Jong–Debarre conjecture on lines in smooth hypersurfaces

Let XPnX\subset\mathbb{P}^n be a smooth hypersurface of degree dd, and let F1(X)G(1,n)F_1(X)\subset\mathbb{G}(1,n) denote the Hilbert scheme of lines contained in XX. The expected dimension of F1(X)F_1(X) is 2nd32n-d-3. de Jong–Debarre conjecture. If dnd\leq n, then F1(X)F_1(X) has dimension 2nd32n-d-3. The bound ndn\geq d is known to be optimal. The conjecture is known for d8d\leq 8, while the general case remains open.
