Jahan–Zheng's conjecture on componentwise linear quotients

Let S=K[x1,,xn]S=K[x_1,\dots,x_n] be a polynomial ring over a field KK, and let ISI\subset S be a monomial ideal. For each j0j\geq 0, let IjI_{\langle j\rangle} be the monomial ideal generated by the monomials of degree jj belonging to II. The ideal II has componentwise linear quotients when every IjI_{\langle j\rangle} has linear quotients; it has linear quotients when its minimal monomial generators can be ordered u1,,umu_1,\dots,u_m so that (u1,,uj1):uj(u_1,\dots,u_{j-1}):u_j is generated by variables for every j=2,,mj=2,\dots,m. Jahan–Zheng's conjecture. If II has componentwise linear quotients, then II has linear quotients. This converse to the known implication from linear quotients to componentwise linear quotients was described as widely open, with partial results available.
