The Scarf resolution conjecture for powers of extremal ideals
The Scarf resolution conjecture for powers of extremal ideals
For an integer , let , and let be the ideal generated by
For , write and let denote its Scarf simplicial complex. The Scarf resolution conjecture. For all integers , supports a minimal free resolution of .
A Scarf resolution is the smallest possible cellular resolution in this setting, and would give an explicit minimal free resolution for every power of every extremal ideal. The conjecture was previously speculated in the cited work and is presented here as a guiding conjecture supported by the paper's additional evidence and results.
