Eisenbud's low-rank quadric syzygy conjecture

About 16 years old · traced to

Let k\Bbbk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let SS be a polynomial ring over k\Bbbk, and let I⊆SI\subseteq S be a prime ideal containing no linear form. Suppose that I2I_2 is spanned by quadrics of rank at most four, and write 2LP(S/I)=n2LP(S/I)=n. Eisenbud's conjecture. The ideal II contains the 2×22\times 2 minors of a 1-generic p×qp\times q matrix, where

p+q−3=n.p+q-3=n.

This predicts that low-rank quadratic generators force the determinantal structure arising from 1-generic matrices. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
