lci and Gorenstein equivalence conjecture for (p,2)(p,2)-clans

Let γ\gamma be any (p,2)(p,2)-clan with p2p\geq 2, and let YγY_{\gamma} be its orbit closure. lci–Gorenstein equivalence conjecture. YγY_{\gamma} is a local complete intersection if and only if γ\gamma avoids the patterns 1++11++-1, 1++11-++1, 1++2211++221, 122++1122++1, 1+2121+212, and 121+2121+2. Equivalently, YγY_{\gamma} is a local complete intersection if and only if it is Gorenstein. The source presents this as the q=2q=2 case of the broader conjectural pattern-avoidance program; the statement is computationally supported but remains open.
