\textit{M. V. Nori}'s connectivity theorem [cf. Invent. Math. 111, No. 2, 349-373 (1993; Zbl 0822.14008)] implies in particular that one can find non-trivial cycles in the kernel of the Abel-Jacobi map by taking complete intersections of type \((d_1, \dots, d_r)\) with \(\min \{d_1, \dots, d_r\}\) large enough on a suitable smooth, projective, complex variety \(X\). By determining the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the sheaf of Kähler differentials \(\Omega^k_X\) in the case of a smooth complete intersection \(X\subseteq P^n\), the authors are able to give an explicit bound for \(\min \{d_1, \dots, d_r\}\) in that case. -- In the second part of the paper, they give a modern proof of a related theorem of \textit{A. Predonzan} [cf. Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei, Rend., Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Natur., VIII. Ser. 5, 238-242 (1948; Zbl 0036.37704)] which states that there exists a bound \(n(d_1,\dots,d_r;m)\) such that any complete intersection subscheme \(X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^n_\mathbb{C}\) of type \((d_1,\dots,d_r)\) contains a linear space of dimension \(m\), provided that \(n\geq n(d_1, \dots, d_r;m)\).
