Largest-vanishing-range conjecture for quasi-smooth Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces

Let s0=2s_0=2 and sm=sm1(sm11)+1s_m=s_{m-1}(s_{m-1}-1)+1 for m1m\geq 1 be Sylvester's sequence. For a positive integer nn, let XX be the nn-fold from the quasi-smooth Calabi–Yau hypersurface construction in Proposition 2. Largest-vanishing-range conjecture. There is a largest possible positive integer MM such that

H0(X,OX())=0for 1<M,H^0(X,\mathcal{O}_X(\ell))=0\qquad\text{for }1\leq \ell<M,

and this XX realizes that largest MM among all quasi-smooth Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces of dimension nn. Low-dimensional computations support the claim, while its validity for arbitrary dimension remains open.
