Iarrobino's conjecture on powers of generic linear forms

Let f1,,frf_1,\ldots,f_r be generic forms of degree dd in k[x1,,xn]k[x_1,\ldots,x_n], and let l1,,lrl_1,\ldots,l_r be generic linear forms. Exclude the cases r=n+2r=n+2, r=n+3r=n+3, (n,r)=(3,7),(3,8),(4,9),(5,14)(n,r)=(3,7),(3,8),(4,9),(5,14).

Iarrobino's conjecture. Outside these exceptions, the algebras

k[x1,,xn]/(l1d,,lrd)andk[x1,,xn]/(f1,,fr)k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/(l_1^d,\ldots,l_r^d)\quad\text{and}\quad k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/(f_1,\ldots,f_r)

have the same Hilbert series.

The conjecture compares powers of generic linear forms with generic forms of the same degree. The source does not specify its resolution status.
