Hibi–Matsuda–Tsuchiya conjecture on linear resolutions of edge rings

Let GG be a finite connected simple graph, let K[G]K[G] denote its edge ring over a field KK, and let q3q\geq 3. A graded ring has a qq-linear resolution when its minimal graded free resolution is qq-linear. Hibi–Matsuda–Tsuchiya conjecture. If K[G]K[G] has a qq-linear resolution, then K[G]K[G] is a hypersurface. The case q=3q=3 was proved by Hibi, Matsuda, and Tsuchiya; the assertion for general q3q\geq 3 remains unresolved.
