Non-vanishing conjecture for cotangent bundles

Let XX be a smooth projective variety, and let 1qdimX1 \leq q \leq \dim X. A vector bundle E\mathcal{E} on XX is pseudoeffective when the tautological line bundle OP(E)(1)\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{E})}(1) on the projectivization P(E)\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{E}) is pseudoeffective. If ΩXq\Omega_X^{q} is pseudoeffective, then the non-vanishing conjecture for cotangent bundles.

H0(X,SmΩXq)0H^0(X, S^m\Omega_X^q) \neq 0

for some m>0m > 0.

This conjecture generalizes the non-vanishing conjecture from canonical bundles to exterior powers of cotangent bundles. The paper proves it for isotrivial elliptic surfaces; together with the result of Hüring and Peternell, the question is completely solved for surfaces with Kodaira dimension at most 11.
