The Gotzmann threshold polynomiality conjecture for powers of x2x_2

Let Rn=K[x1,,xn]R_n=K[x_1,\dots,x_n] be the polynomial ring in nn variables over a field KK, and let τn(x2d)\tau_n(x_2^d) denote the Gotzmann threshold of x2dx_2^d in RnR_n.

Gotzmann threshold polynomiality conjecture. For all n3n \ge 3, τn(x2d)\tau_n(x_2^d) is a polynomial of degree 2n22^{n-2} in dd with dominant term

d2n222n21=2(d/2)2n2.\frac{d^{2^{n-2}}}{2^{2^{n-2}-1}}=2(d/2)^{2^{n-2}}.

Equivalently,

limdτn(x2d)(τn1(x2d)2)=1.\lim_{d \to \infty} \frac{\tau_n(x_2^d)}{\binom{\tau_{n-1}(x_2^d)}2}=1.

The conjecture extends the explicit formulas known for n=3,4,5n=3,4,5 and predicts the leading asymptotic behavior of the Gotzmann threshold in all higher dimensions. Determining τn(x2d)\tau_n(x_2^d) for general n6n \ge 6 remains open.
