Ein–Lazarsfeld syzygy conjecture for Veronese varieties

Let Pn\mathbf P^n be projective nn-space, embedded by OPn(d)\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf P^n}(d), and let Kp,q(Pn,OPn(d))\mathrm{K}_{p,q}(\mathbf P^n,\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf P^n}(d)) denote the corresponding Koszul cohomology group. Ein–Lazarsfeld conjecture. Fix an index 1qn1\leq q\leq n and dn+1d\geq n+1. Then

Kp,q(Pn,OPn(d))0\mathrm{K}_{p,q}(\mathbf P^n,\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf P^n}(d))\neq 0

if and only if

(d+qq)(d1q)qp(d+nn)(d+nqnq)+(nnq)q1.\binom{d+q}{q}-\binom{d-1}{q}-q\leq p\leq \binom{d+n}{n}-\binom{d+n-q}{n-q}+\binom{n}{n-q}-q-1.

The nonvanishing direction was proved by Ein and Lazarsfeld, while the vanishing direction remains the focus of the paper; the conjecture is known when n=2n=2.
