Power containment for the twisted cubic's covariant ideal

Assume d=3d=3 and let rr be arbitrary, with 33 not dividing rr. Let XP3X\subseteq\mathbf P^3 be the twisted cubic curve, let IXI_X be its defining ideal, and let Jr,3J_{r,3} be the ideal generated by the coefficients of the relevant covariant Gr,3\mathfrak G_{r,3}. Twisted-cubic power-containment conjecture. There is an inclusion

(IX)rJr,3,(I_X)^r\subseteq J_{r,3},

and rr is the smallest positive integer kk for which (IX)kJr,3(I_X)^k\subseteq J_{r,3}. The text notes that Jr,3=IX\sqrt{J_{r,3}}=I_X and that computations suggest the sharper containment and minimality statement; its status remains open.
