Hilbert-function conjecture for minimal local Gorenstein schemes computing cubic cactus rank

About 14 years old · traced to

Let FF be a general cubic form, let ll be its local cactus rank, and let a minimal local Artinian Gorenstein scheme computing this rank have Hilbert function HH. If ll is even, then the conjectured Hilbert function is

H=(1,l/2−1,l/2−1,1).H=(1,l/2-1,l/2-1,1).

If ll is odd, then it is

H=(1,(l−1)/2−1,(l−1)/2−1,1,1).H=(1,(l-1)/2-1,(l-1)/2-1,1,1).

Hilbert-function conjecture. The Hilbert function of a minimal local Artinian Gorenstein scheme for a general cubic form with local cactus rank ll has the displayed form according to the parity of ll. The supplied text presents this as a computation-based conjecture, and gives no resolution or broader range of validity.
