The v-number conjecture for crown graphs

About 1 year old · traced to

Let G=Cn,nG=C_{n,n} with n≥4n \ge 4. The graph GG is the crown graph obtained from the complete bipartite graph on two parts of size nn by deleting a perfect matching, and JGJ_G denotes its binomial edge ideal. For T∈C(G)T \in \mathcal{C}(G), let PT(G)P_T(G) be the corresponding prime ideal and let v⁡PT(G)(JG)\operatorname{v}_{P_T(G)}(J_G) denote the local v-number of JGJ_G at PT(G)P_T(G). The v-number conjecture for crown graphs. For every T∈C(G)T \in \mathcal{C}(G),

v⁡PT(G)(JG)=4.\operatorname{v}_{P_T(G)}(J_G)=4.

This would establish the expected upper value in the bound 3≤v⁡(JG)≤43\leq \operatorname{v}(J_G)\leq 4 for crown graphs with n≥4n\geq 4; the case T=∅T=\emptyset is already known, while the assertion for every cut-set prime remains open.
