The Dimension Conjecture for fewer differential equations than variables

Let (K,∂)(K,\partial) be a differential field of characteristic zero, let u1,…,um∈K{x1,…,xn}u_1,\ldots,u_m\in K\lbrace x_1,\ldots,x_n\rbrace, and let

Σ=Spec⁡K{x1,…,xn}/[u1,…,um].\Sigma=\operatorname{Spec}K\lbrace x_1,\ldots,x_n\rbrace/[u_1,\ldots,u_m].

Dimension Conjecture. If m<nm<n, then every irreducible component Σ1\Sigma_1 of Σ\Sigma satisfies

dim⁡K∂(Σ1)≥n−m.\dim_K^{\partial}(\Sigma_1)\geq n-m.

This is presented as a stronger formulation of the assertion that fewer equations than variables force positive differential dimension. The source states that the Dimension Conjecture, including this formulation and the other formulations listed in the paper, is open.
