Hübl's conjecture on symbolic powers and regular local rings

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let (R,m)(R,\mathfrak{m}) be a regular local ring, let p∈Spec⁡(R)\mathfrak{p}\in\operatorname{Spec}(R) be a prime ideal, let f∈Rf\in R, and let nn be an integer such that

fn−1∈pn.f^{n-1}\in\mathfrak{p}^{n}.

Hübl's conjecture. Then

f∈m⋅p.f\in\mathfrak{m}\cdot\mathfrak{p}.

The hypothesis implies f∈p(2)f\in\mathfrak{p}^{(2)}, but the stronger containment in mp\mathfrak{m}\mathfrak{p} is described as significantly harder; the source does not report a resolution.
