Postnikov–Shapiro's graded Betti-number conjecture for power ideals

About 13 years old · traced to

Let R=k[x1,…,xn]R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n] be a polynomial ring over a field kk of characteristic 00 or sufficiently large. For a linear degree function ϕ\phi satisfying

ϕ(r)=l+k(n−r)>0,\phi(r)=l+k(n-r)>0,

let IϕI_\phi be the monomial ideal generated by (xi1⋯xir)ϕ(r)(x_{i_1}\cdots x_{i_r})^{\phi(r)} over all nonempty subsets {i1,…,ir}\{i_1,\ldots,i_r\} of {1,…,n}\{1,\ldots,n\}, and let JϕJ_\phi be generated by (xi1+⋯+xir)rϕ(r)(x_{i_1}+\cdots+x_{i_r})^{r\phi(r)} over the same subsets. Postnikov–Shapiro's graded Betti-number conjecture. The graded Betti numbers of R/IϕR/I_\phi and R/JϕR/J_\phi should agree. This conjecture is false in general: Schenck gave a counterexample, although the n=3n=3 case leads to a more precise conjecture about the resolution of JϕJ_\phi.
