The maximal rank conjecture for multiplication maps of general linear series

Let XX be a general curve of genus gg, and let VL(DX)V \subset \mathcal{L}(D_X) be a general linear series of rank r3r \geq 3 and degree dd. For every positive integer mm, consider the multiplication map

μm:SymmVL(mDX).\mu_m: \operatorname{Sym}^m V \longrightarrow \mathcal{L}(mD_X).

Here maximal rank means that the map is injective or surjective.

Maximal rank conjecture. The multiplication maps μm\mu_m have maximal rank for all mm.

The paper presents this as the algebraic maximal rank conjecture and seeks to prove it using tropical independence. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
