Kummini–Lakshmibai–Sastry–Seshadri regularity conjecture for Grassmannian Schubert patches

Let BGLn(C)B\subseteq GL_n(\mathbb{C}) be the Borel subgroup of upper triangular matrices, and let wSnw\in S_n be a Grassmannian permutation with descent at position kk. Let YY be the standard open patch associated with ww, let JwJ_w be the prime ideal generated by the essential minors defining the corresponding patch YwY_w, and suppose that for some r[k1]r\in[k-1] one has

wkr+i=nk+ifor all i[r]w_{k-r+i}=n-k+i\quad\text{for all }i\in[r]

and w1=1w_1=1. Define w~\widetilde w by (w~1,,w~k)=(nwk+1,,nw1+1)(\widetilde w_1,\ldots,\widetilde w_k)=(n-w_k+1,\ldots,n-w_1+1), write

(w~1,,w~k)=(kr+1,kr+2,,k,ar+1,,an1,n),(\widetilde w_1,\ldots,\widetilde w_k)=(k-r+1,k-r+2,\ldots,k,a_{r+1},\ldots,a_{n-1},n),

set ar=ka_r=k and ak=na_k=n, and, for rik1r\leq i\leq k-1, define mi=ai+1aim_i=a_{i+1}-a_i. Kummini–Lakshmibai–Sastry–Seshadri conjecture. The regularity should satisfy

reg(C[Y]/Jw)=i=rk1(mi1)i.\operatorname{reg}(\mathbb{C}[Y]/J_w)=\sum_{i=r}^{k-1}(m_i-1)i.

The paper states that this conjecture is false and provides a counterexample, replacing it with an alternate explicit combinatorial formula for the regularity.
