Modified positivity conjecture for LL-classes of smooth complete intersections

From papers

Let XX be a smooth complete intersection of dimension nn and multidegree (d1,,dr)(d_1,\ldots,d_r), with r2r\geq 2, and let L2j(X)L^{2j}(X) denote its degree-4j4j cohomology LL-class. Assume, at least, that

i=1rdin+r.\sum_{i=1}^r d_i\geq n+r.

Modified positivity conjecture for complete intersections. For every integer jj with 0jn/20\leq j\leq n/2,

(1)jL2j(X)>0.(-1)^jL^{2j}(X)>0.

This is a proposed sign pattern for the cohomology LL-classes of smooth complete intersections under the stated degree condition. The source gives no evidence of a resolution.
