Exact formula conjecture for the minimal total degree of flag-variety regularity

From papers

Let Fl(Cn){\mathcal{F}}l(\mathbb C^n) be the complete flag variety, and let reg(ιOFl(Cn))\operatorname{reg}(\iota_*{\mathcal{O}}_{{\mathcal{F}}l(\mathbb C^n)}) be its multigraded regularity region. Define

m(n)=min{a:areg(ιOFl(Cn))},m(n)=\min\{\lvert \mathbf a\rvert:\mathbf a\in\operatorname{reg}(\iota_*{\mathcal{O}}_{{\mathcal{F}}l(\mathbb C^n)})\},

where a=iai\lvert\mathbf a\rvert=\sum_i a_i. Exact-degree conjecture. For every n4n\geq4,

m(n)=(n22).m(n)=\binom{n-2}{2}.

This is a precise form of the proposed quadratic growth, motivated by the computed regularity regions in low dimensions; proving it would sharpen the currently known linear lower and cubic upper bounds.
