The Sylvester-form conjecture for the Rees ideal of a linearly presented ideal

About 12 years old · traced to

Let k[x]=k[x1,x2,x3]k[\mathbf{x}]=k[x_1,x_2,x_3] and k[y]=k[y1,y2,y3,y4]k[\mathbf{y}]=k[y_1,y_2,y_3,y_4]. Consider the matrix φ:=φ3,r\varphi:=\varphi_{3,r} as in the paper's template, and let I:=I3(φ)⊂k[x]I:=I_3(\varphi)\subset k[\mathbf{x}]. Assume that the 22-minors of the linear part of φ\varphi generate a (x)(\mathbf{x})-primary ideal. For i=1,2,…,ri=1,2,\ldots,r, let fif_i be the Sylvester form of {l1,l2,fi−1}\{l_1,l_2,f_{i-1}\} with respect to {x}\{\mathbf{x}\}, where l1,l2,f0l_1,l_2,f_0 are the forms generating I1((y)⋅φ)I_1((\mathbf{y})\cdot\varphi). The Rees-ideal conjecture. The ideal (I1((y)⋅φ),f1,f2,…,fr)\left(I_1\left((\mathbf{y})\cdot\varphi\right),f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_r\right) is the Rees ideal of II. The preceding proposition establishes that the Rees ideal is a minimal prime of this ideal and that fif_i has bidegree (r−i,2i+1)(r-i,2i+1); the conjecture asserts equality, giving the full defining ideal of the Rees algebra in this setting.
