The Gorenstein-dimension grade conjecture

Let RR be a commutative Noetherian local ring and let MM be a finitely generated RR-module. Write Gdim(M)\operatorname{Gdim}(M) for the Gorenstein dimension, grade(M)\operatorname{grade}(M) for the grade, and Ann(M)\operatorname{Ann}(M) for the annihilator. Gorenstein-dimension grade conjecture. If

Gdim(M)<,\operatorname{Gdim}(M)<\infty,

then

grade(M)=ht(Ann(M)).\operatorname{grade}(M)=\operatorname{ht}(\operatorname{Ann}(M)).

The paper proves this in several special cases, including modules of the form R/PR/P, but leaves the general statement as a conjecture.
