Recursive Fröberg conjecture for adjoining a generic form

Let S=k[x1,,xn]S=\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n], let JSJ\subset S be generated by generic forms, and let fSf\in S be a generic form of degree ee. Recursive Fröberg conjecture. For every integer jj,

dimk[S/(J,f)]j=max{0,dimk[S/J]jdimk[S/J]je}.\dim_\Bbbk [S/(J,f)]_j=\max\{0,\dim_\Bbbk[S/J]_j-\dim_\Bbbk[S/J]_{j-e}\}.

This is the recursive Hilbert-function formulation of Fröberg's conjecture; it is used to predict the dimensions needed in the secant-variety application and remains open in general.
