Dominance threshold conjecture for random homogeneous ideals in three variables

Let n=3n=3, and let pp be the probability that each degree-dd monomial is selected independently in the homogeneous random monomial ideal model. As the generating degree dd increases, the probability that the resulting random homogeneous ideal is dominant tends to zero whenever p>0.1p>0.1.

Dominance threshold conjecture. As dd\to\infty, for every fixed p>0.1p>0.1, the probability that the random homogeneous ideal is dominant tends to 00.

This conjecture formalizes the simulation-based observation that, for three variables, dominance disappears asymptotically above the apparent probability threshold 0.10.1. The source suggests that analogous thresholds may hold for general numbers of variables, with a suitable threshold depending on nn and dd, but does not state those generalizations as part of this conjecture.
