Eventual constancy conjecture for Serre-depth functions of powers

Let (R,m)(R,\mathfrak{m}) be a Noetherian local ring or a standard graded KK-algebra. Let IRI\subset R be an ideal, homogeneous when RR is a KK-algebra. The Serre-depth stabilization conjecture. asserts that

Sr- ⁣depth(R/Ik+1)=Sr- ⁣depth(R/Ik),S_r\text{-}\!\operatorname{depth}(R/I^{k+1})=S_r\text{-}\!\operatorname{depth}(R/I^k),

for all r1r\ge1 and all k0k\gg0. This extends Brodmann's eventual constancy theorem for ordinary depth; the paper proves the assertion for monomial ideals in a standard graded polynomial ring, while the stated general form remains open.
