Lupton's cohomology-dimension conjecture for elliptic Sullivan algebras

Let (ΛV,d)(\Lambda V,d) be an elliptic Sullivan algebra with homogeneous differential of length ll. Write

e=e0(ΛV,d)=dimVodd+(l2)dimVeven.e=e_0(\Lambda V,d)=\dim V^{\operatorname{odd}}+(l-2)\dim V^{\operatorname{even}}.

Lupton's conjecture. Either

dimHk(ΛV,d)2for k=1,,e1,\dim H_k^*(\Lambda V,d)\geq 2\quad\text{for }k=1,\ldots,e-1,

or H(ΛV,d)H^*(\Lambda V,d) is a truncated polynomial algebra on a single generator.

Lupton established the conjecture partially under the additional hypothesis that ker(d:VoddΛV)\ker(d:V^{\operatorname{odd}}\to\Lambda V) is non-zero. The paper supplies a complementary result for coformal elliptic Sullivan algebras with differential of length 22, leaving the general case open.
