The Second Brauer-Thrall conjecture for maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules

Let (R,m,k)(R,\mathfrak{m},\mathsf{k}) be a local ring. Its CM type is unbounded if the multiplicities of its indecomposable maximal Cohen–Macaulay RR-modules are unbounded, and strongly unbounded if there is an increasing sequence n1<n2<n_1<n_2<\cdots of positive integers such that, for every ii, infinitely many indecomposable maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules have multiplicity nin_i.

Second Brauer-Thrall conjecture for MCM modules. If RR has unbounded CM type and k\mathsf{k} is infinite, then RR has strongly unbounded CM type.

The source discusses this as a conjecture and notes that it holds in dimension one in the cases treated there, but the supplied status evidence is mismatched and does not establish a resolution of BTM2.
