Clarke–Larson–Vogt's conjecture on stability of normal bundles of BN-curves

A BN-triple is a triple (g,r,d)(g,r,d) specifying a Brill–Noether curve of genus gg, degree dd, and dimension rr. For a general BN-curve XPrX\subset\mathbb{P}^r of type (g,r,d)(g,r,d), consider its normal bundle NX/PrN_{X/\mathbb{P}^r}. Clarke–Larson–Vogt's conjecture. All but finitely many BN-triples (g,r,d)(g,r,d) with g2g\geq2 are stable, meaning that NX/PrN_{X/\mathbb{P}^r} is stable for a general BN-curve of that type. The conjecture is motivated by stability results in low-dimensional cases and leaves open the possibility of finitely many exceptional BN-triples.
