Prym-Green conjecture for level paracanonical curves

Let g5g\geq 5, let [C,η][C,\eta] be a general point of the moduli space Rg,\mathcal{R}_{g,\ell} of pairs consisting of a smooth genus-gg curve and an \ell-torsion line bundle ηPic0(C)[]\eta\in\operatorname{Pic}^0(C)[\ell], with 2\ell\geq 2. The line bundle ωCη\omega_C\otimes\eta embeds CC as a level \ell paracanonical curve

φωCη:CPg2.\varphi_{\omega_C\otimes\eta}:C\hookrightarrow\mathbf{P}^{g-2}.

Prym-Green conjecture. The resolution of a general level \ell paracanonical curve of genus gg is natural.

Here naturality means that in each relevant homological degree at most one of the adjacent graded Betti numbers is nonzero. The conjecture generalizes the syzygetic predictions for Prym-canonical curves and connects resolutions of paracanonical rings with the geometry of Prym varieties. The supplied text gives no resolution evidence.
