Odd-variable equal-power weak Lefschetz conjecture

About 16 years old · traced to

Let R=k[x1,…,x2n+1]R=k[x_1,\dots,x_{2n+1}] with n≥4n\geq4, let L∈RL\in R be a general linear form, and set

I=⟨x1d,…,x2n+1d,Ld⟩.I=\langle x_1^d,\dots,x_{2n+1}^d,L^d\rangle.

Odd-variable equal-power WLP conjecture. The ring R/IR/I fails the weak Lefschetz property if and only if d>1d>1. Furthermore, when n=3n=3, so that RR has seven variables, R/IR/I fails the WLP when d=3d=3. This conjecture extends the proven seven-variable result for d≥4d\geq4 and records the unresolved general odd-variable case, with the degree-two seven-variable case known to have the WLP.
