The minimal-class conjecture for subvarieties of principally polarized abelian varieties

Let (X,Θ)(X,\Theta) be an irreducible principally polarized abelian variety, let YXY\subset X be a non-degenerate subvariety of dimension mm, and write θ=c1(Θ)\theta=c_1(\Theta). Say that YY represents a minimal class when

[Y]=θgm(gm)![Y]=\frac{\theta^{g-m}}{(g-m)!}

in the appropriate cohomology group, equivalently in the notation of the source as the minimal class θm/m!\theta^m/m! according to its codimension convention. Say that IY(2Θ)\mathcal I_Y(2\Theta) satisfies I.T. with index 00 when its higher cohomology vanishes after general topologically trivial twists. Minimal-class conjecture. The subvariety YY represents a minimal class if and only if IY(2Θ)\mathcal I_Y(2\Theta) satisfies I.T. with index 00, equivalently, IY\mathcal I_Y is strongly 33-Θ\Theta-regular. This is presented as an analogue of the characterization of varieties of minimal degree in projective space; the source does not state whether the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
