Maximal Rank Conjecture for the restriction maps

Let the restriction maps be those in Theorem, and let d1d\geqslant 1. The paper reports that no counterexamples were found in the tested range d<d0(m)d<d_0(m). Maximal Rank Conjecture. The restriction maps in Theorem have maximal rank for all d1d\geqslant 1. This is proposed because the computations found no failures below the stated threshold; the general assertion remains open in the source.

Progress summary

Refreshed
Open

No verified progress on this conjecture was found; only finite computations support it, and the general assertion remains open.

No relevant proof, counterexample, verification, or claimed settlement of this exact conjecture was found. A similarly named conjecture for restriction maps of general Brill–Noether curves was proved by Eric Larson in 2017, with a 2018 exposition, but the retrieved sources do not identify those maps with the maps here or address the threshold d0(m)d_0(m).

Current status (as of August 2026): the conjecture remains open; only the reported computations for d<d0(m)d<d_0(m), with no detected counterexamples, are settled.
