Expected-codimension conjecture for Weddle schemes of general points

About 10 years old · traced to

Let d≥3d\geq 3 and let ZZ be a set of (d+22)−1\binom{d+2}{2}-1 general points in P3\mathbb{P}^3. The dd-Weddle scheme of ZZ is the scheme associated to the loci of points from which the projection of ZZ satisfies the relevant degree-dd condition. Expected-codimension conjecture. The dd-Weddle scheme of ZZ has the expected codimension, namely 22. The proposition preceding this conjecture establishes the consequence that, when this expected codimension holds, the scheme is an ACM curve of degree ((d+23)+12)\binom{\binom{d+2}{3}+1}{2} containing the lines joining pairs of points of ZZ; the conjecture itself is asserted for general dd and remains unresolved in the supplied text.
