Divisorial instability conjecture for blowups of Fano hypersurfaces along linear subspaces

Let ΓPkX\Gamma \simeq \mathbb P^k \subset X be a kk-dimensional linear subspace in a smooth Fano hypersurface XPn+1X \subset \mathbb P^{n+1} of degree dd. Let φ ⁣:YX\varphi \colon Y \rightarrow X be the blowup of XX along Γ\Gamma, and suppose that YY is a Fano variety. Divisorial instability conjecture. There exists a constant c(d)c(d) depending only on dd such that

k>c(d)k > c(d)

if and only if YY is divisorially unstable for all nk+2n \geq k+2. The preceding theorem verifies a related bound for k3degXk \geq 3\cdot\deg X and k+2n1000k+2 \leq n \leq 1000, while the conjecture seeks a degree-dependent threshold valid for all nk+2n \geq k+2.
