Malara–Migliore–Nagel conjecture on the weak Lefschetz property

Let KK be a field of characteristic zero, let R=K[x0,,xn]R=K[x_0,\ldots,x_n], and let LRL\in R be a general linear form. Consider the ideal

I=(x0d,,xnd,Ld).I=(x_0^d,\ldots,x_n^d,L^d).

The weak Lefschetz property (WLP) for an Artinian graded algebra R/IR/I means that multiplication by a general linear form has maximal rank in every degree. Malara–Migliore–Nagel's conjecture. If n8n\geq8 is even, then R/IR/I fails the WLP if and only if d>1d>1. The conjecture concerns the WLP for almost complete intersections generated by powers of general linear forms. The paper proves an asymptotic version for sufficiently large nn and dd, but does not establish the stated uniform assertion in all even dimensions n8n\geq8.
