Conjecture on the initial ideal associated with an Ar−1A_{r-1} surface singularity

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let r∈Z≥2r\in\mathbf{Z}_{\geq 2}, let S\mathcal{S} be the ring in which the ideal a\mathfrak{a} is defined, and let JrJ_r be the ideal generated by the monomials described above: the monomials of IrI_r, the monomials xkyi1⋯yikx_k y_{i_1}\cdots y_{i_k} with 1≤k1\leq k, 1≤i1≤⋯≤ik1\leq i_1\leq\cdots\leq i_k and k+ik≤r−1k+i_k\leq r-1, and the monomials xkyi1⋯yikzj1⋯zjik+k−r+1x_k y_{i_1}\cdots y_{i_k}z_{j_1}\cdots z_{j_{i_k+k-r+1}} with 1≤k1\leq k, 1≤i1≤⋯≤ik1\leq i_1\leq\cdots\leq i_k, 2≤j1≤⋯≤jk+ik−r+12\leq j_1\leq\cdots\leq j_{k+i_k-r+1} and k+ik≥rk+i_k\geq r. The weighted reverse lexicographical ordering is the ordering under consideration. Initial-ideal conjecture. The initial ideal of a\mathfrak{a} with respect to the weighted reverse lexicographical ordering is the ideal JrJ_r defined above. This conjecture would describe the leading ideal of the defining ideal of the arc space at an Ar−1A_{r-1} surface singularity and would support the proposed monomial bases used to determine the dimensions of the vector spaces Aj0\mathcal{A}^0_j.
