Positive-characteristic purity conjecture for general K3 unions of scrolls

Let aa be a positive integer, let F\overline{\mathbb{F}} be an algebraically closed field of characteristic pp, and let e=(e1,e2)F2e=(e_1,e_2)\in\overline{\mathbb{F}}^2 be general. Let Xe(a,a)X_e(a,a) be the corresponding union of scrolls. Positive-characteristic purity conjecture. The union of scrolls Xe(a,a)X_e(a,a) has a pure resolution if

pa.p\geq a.

In particular, Green's conjecture holds for a general curve of genus gg over a field of characteristic pp if p(g1)/2p\geq (g-1)/2. This is an experimental characteristic bound inferred from the computed resolutions; the source does not establish it in general.
