Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold, endowed with an effective reduced divisor $B=\sum Y_{k}$ having simple normal crossing support. We consider a closed form of $(1,1)$-type $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ on $X$ whose corresponding class $\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\}$ is nef, such that the class $c_{1}(K_{X}+B)+\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\}\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb{R})$ is pseudo-effective. A particular case of the first result we establish in this short note states the following. Let $m$ be a positive integer, and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$, such that there exists a generically injective morphism $L\rightarrow \bigotimes ^{m}T_{X}^{\star }\langle B\rangle$, where we denote by $T_{X}^{\star }\langle B\rangle$ the logarithmic cotangent bundle associated to the pair $(X,B)$. Then for any Kähler class $\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}\}$ on $X$, we have the inequality $$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle \int _{X}c_{1}(L)\wedge \{\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}\}^{n-1}\leqslant m\int _{X}(c_{1}(K_{X}+B)+\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\})\wedge \{\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}\}^{n-1}.\end{eqnarray}$$ If $X$ is projective, then this result gives a generalization of a criterion due to Y. Miyaoka, concerning the generic semi-positivity: under the hypothesis above, let $Q$ be the quotient of $\bigotimes ^{m}T_{X}^{\star }\langle B\rangle$ by $L$. Then its degree on a generic complete intersection curve $C\subset X$ is bounded from below by $$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle \biggl(\frac{n^{m}-1}{n-1}-m\biggr)\int _{C}(c_{1}(K_{X}+B)+\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\})-\frac{n^{m}-1}{n-1}\int _{C}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}.\end{eqnarray}$$ As a consequence, we obtain a new proof of one of the main results of our previous work [F. Campana and M. Păun, Orbifold generic semi-positivity: an application to families of canonically polarized manifolds, Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble) 65 (2015), 835–861].
