Schreyer's geometric syzygy conjecture for canonical curves
Schreyer's geometric syzygy conjecture for canonical curves
Let be a general curve of genus . For each relevant homological index , the linear syzygy space consists of syzygies of rank at least .
Geometric Syzygy Conjecture. All linear syzygy spaces are spanned by syzygies of minimal rank .
This is Schreyer's geometric form of the minimal syzygy conjecture: the linear syzygies of a general canonical curve should arise from the rational normal scrolls containing it. The source provides no resolution status, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
