Briançon–Iarrobino conjecture on maximal tangent spaces of punctual Hilbert schemes

About 7 years old · traced to

Let N≥1N\geq 1 and let m=(x1,…,xN)⊂C[x1,…,xN]\mathfrak{m}=(x_1,\ldots,x_N)\subset\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_N]. Briançon–Iarrobino conjecture. The ideal mk\mathfrak{m}^k has the maximum dimension tangent space among all elements of

Hilb⁡(N−1+kN)(AN).\operatorname{Hilb}^{\binom{N-1+k}{N}}(\mathbb{A}^N).

This is described as a well-known long-standing conjecture, attributed in the source to Briançon and Iarrobino (1978); the source does not state a resolution.
