Subvarieties of generic complete intersections. II (Q1176791)

[For part I see Invent. Math. 94, No. 1, 163-169 (1988; Zbl 0701.14002).] Let \(M\) be a smooth projective \(n\)-fold, let \({\mathcal O}_ M(1)\) be an ample line bundle on \(M\), and let \(X\subseteq M\) be a generic complete intersection of type \((m_ 1,\ldots,m_ k)\). The main result of the paper shows that if \(m_ 1+\cdots+m_ k\geq\dim(X)+n+1\) (respectively \(\dim(X)+n)\), then the desingularization of every subvariety of \(X\) is of general type (respectively, every subvariety of \(X\) has non-zero geometric genus). It is also noted that for surfaces the result is best possible.
