### On the stability of the tangent bundle of a hypersurface in a Fano variety

#### Abstract

Let $M$ be a complex projective Fano manifold whose Picard group is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}$ and the tangent bundle $TM$ is semistable. Let $Z \subset M$ be a smooth hypersurface of degree strictly greater than degree($TM$)$(\mathrm{dim}_{\mathbb{C}} Z-1)/(2\mathrm{dim}_{\mathbb{C}} Z-1)$ and satisfying the condition that the inclusion of $Z$ in $M$ gives an isomorphism of Picard groups. We prove that the tangent bundle of $Z$ is stable. A similar result is proved also for smooth complete intersections in $M$. The main ingredient in the proof of it is a vanishing result for the top cohomology of the twisted holomorphic differential forms on $Z$.
