Briançon–Skoda number polynomial-extension conjecture

About 12 years old · traced to

Let R{\bf R} be a Noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension. Define the Briançon–Skoda number of R{\bf R} by

c(R)=sup{c(I)∣I⊂R}.c({\bf R})=\text{\rm sup}\{c(I)\mid I\subset {\bf R}\}.

Polynomial-extension conjecture. The Briançon–Skoda number satisfies

c(R[x])≤c(R)+1.c({\bf R}[x])\leq c({\bf R})+1.

The conjecture asks how the normalization behavior measured by the Briançon–Skoda number changes under adjoining one polynomial variable; no resolution is given in the source.
