Fröberg–Iarrobino conjecture on Hilbert functions of generic power ideals

About 8 years old · traced to

Let SS be a polynomial ring in nn variables over C\mathbb C, and let ℓ1,…,ℓr\ell_1,\ldots,\ell_r be generic linear forms. For a positive integer dd, set I=(ℓ1d,…,ℓrd)I=(\ell_1^d,\ldots,\ell_r^d) and R=S/IR=S/I. Let HFR(t)\mathrm{HF}_R(t) denote the Hilbert series prescribed by Fröberg's formula for rr generic forms of degree dd. Fröberg–Iarrobino conjecture. The Hilbert function of RR is the Fröberg-predicted one, except for (n,r)=(3,7),(3,8),(4,9),(5,14)(n,r)=(3,7),(3,8),(4,9),(5,14) and possibly for r=n+2r=n+2 and r=n+3r=n+3. The conjecture is still largely open, with progress for low degrees and numbers of variables and reformulations using fat points and linear systems.
