The characteristic-two conjecture for the weak Lefschetz property of monomial complete intersections

About 16 years old · traced to

Let KK be a field of characteristic 22, let dd be a positive integer, and set

A=K[x,y,z]/(xd,yd,zd).A=K[x,y,z]/(x^d,y^d,z^d).

The characteristic-two conjecture. The algebra AA has the weak Lefschetz property if and only if

d=⌊2n+13⌋d=\left\lfloor \frac{2^n+1}{3}\right\rfloor

for some positive integer nn.

The conjecture gives an explicit characterization of the equal-exponent monomial complete intersections having the weak Lefschetz property in characteristic 22; in particular, since the listed values of dd are odd, it predicts that AA has the weak Lefschetz property for every even dd.
