Arnold's signature conjecture for domains in real projective space

From papers

Consider a domain URPnU\subset{\mathbb R}P^n bounded by a connected smooth hypersurface BB. Suppose that the second fundamental form of BB is non-degenerate at every point and has signature (nk1,k)(n-k-1,k), necessarily the same at all points, with respect to the outward normal. Arnold Conjecture. There exist a projective subspace LkL^k of dimension kk contained in UU and a projective subspace Lnk1L^{n-k-1} of dimension nk1n-k-1 that does not intersect UU. This is the signature formulation of Arnold's proposed extension of the convex-body theorem; the paper proves only the first nontrivial case under additional assumptions, leaving the general statement open.
