The v-number conjecture for cycles and binary trees

From papers

Let CnC_n be the cycle graph on nn vertices and let BnB_n be the binary tree of level nn. For each graph GG, let JGJ_G denote its binomial edge ideal.

Conjecture for cycles and binary trees. The following equalities hold:

v(JCn)=2n3for all n6,\mathrm{v}(J_{C_n})=\left\lceil\frac{2n}{3}\right\rceil\quad\text{for all }n\geq 6,

and

v(JBn)=2n1+v(JBn3)for all n3.\mathrm{v}(J_{B_n})=2^{n-1}+\mathrm{v}(J_{B_{n-3}})\quad\text{for all }n\geq 3.

The cycle equality would sharpen the established upper bound, while the binary-tree recurrence is suggested by preceding results and Macaulay2 computations; both assertions are presented as conjectural.
