Matsuda–Murai's characterization of maximal regularity for binomial edge ideals

Let GG be a finite simple graph, with n(G)n(G) denoting its number of vertices and JGJ_G its binomial edge ideal in S=K[xi,yi:iV(G)]S=K[x_i,y_i:i\in V(G)]. Matsuda–Murai's conjecture.

reg(S/JG)=n(G)1\operatorname{reg}(S/J_G)=n(G)-1

if and only if GG is a path graph on n(G)n(G) vertices. The claim concerns equality in the general upper bound for binomial edge ideals; the source does not state whether it has been resolved.
