The SI-sequence conjecture for smooth ACM curves

Let XP3X\subset\mathbb{P}^3 be a smooth arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay curve not lying on a quadric surface. Let AVX,1AV_{X,1} denote its associated AVAV-sequence, and let degX\deg X be the degree of XX.

SI-sequence conjecture. The sequence AVX,1AV_{X,1} is an SI-sequence shifted by 11. Its last nonzero term is

AVX,1(degX5),AV_{X,1}(\deg X-5),

so the SI-sequence ends in degree degX6\deg X-6.

The statement is presented as partly conjectural and supported by experiments and partial results. The supplied text does not provide a resolution.
