The generalized Lech inequality for products with the maximal ideal

Let (R,m)(R,{\mathfrak m}) be a Noetherian local ring of dimension d4d\geq4, and let λ(R/I)\lambda(R/I) denote the length of R/IR/I. The product-form generalized Lech inequality. For every m{\mathfrak m}-primary ideal II,

e(mI)d!λ(R/I)e(R).\operatorname{e}({\mathfrak m}I)\leq d!\lambda(R/I)\operatorname{e}(R).

This is a stronger-looking product-form inequality related to the preceding mixed-multiplicity bound. The source presents it as a conjecture proposed in the cited work; its general validity is not established there.
