Modular Betti-shift stability conjecture for symmetric-group cofixed spaces

Let pp be a prime. For each r1r\geq 1, define

Rr:=k[e1,,er],Mr:=k[x1,,xr]Sr.R_r:=\mathbf{k}[e_1,\ldots,e_r],\qquad M_r:=\mathbf{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_r]_{\mathfrak{S}_r}.

For an integer i0i\geq 0, let AiR(M)A_i^R(M) be the multiset in which jj occurs with multiplicity βi,jR(M)\beta_{i,j}^R(M), for a graded module MM over a graded ring RR. Let m,nm,n satisfy

kpm,n<(k+1)pkp\leq m,n<(k+1)p

for some integer kk, and let k=Fp\mathbf{k}=\mathbb{F}_p or k=Z(p)\mathbf{k}=\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}. Modular Betti-shift stability conjecture. For each i0i\geq 0, the multisets AiRn(Mn)A_i^{R_n}(M_n) and AiRm(Mm)A_i^{R_m}(M_m) are equal after reducing every element modulo pp. This conjectures that the degree shifts in each homological degree of the minimal resolutions depend, modulo pp, only on the interval between consecutive multiples of pp containing the number of variables. The phenomenon is known in the smaller ranges discussed in the source, while its persistence for all such m,nm,n is left open.
