Hilbert-depth conjecture for intersections of disjoint variable ideals

About 2 years old · traced to

Let n1,n2,…,nrn_1,n_2,\ldots,n_r be positive integers, let N=n1+⋯+nrN=n_1+\cdots+n_r, let S=K[x1,…,xN]S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_N], and define

In1,n2,…,nr:=(x1,…,xn1)∩(xn1+1,…,xn1+n2)∩⋯∩(xn1+⋯+nr−1+1,…,xN)⊂S.I_{n_1,n_2,\ldots,n_r}:=(x_1,\ldots,x_{n_1})\cap(x_{n_1+1},\ldots,x_{n_1+n_2})\cap\cdots\cap(x_{n_1+\cdots+n_{r-1}+1},\ldots,x_N)\subset S.

The recalled conjecture. The Hilbert depth satisfies

hdepth⁡(In1,…,nr)=⌊N+r2⌋.\operatorname{hdepth}(I_{n_1,\ldots,n_r})=\left\lfloor\frac{N+r}{2}\right\rfloor.

The source recalls this as Conjecture 3.4 from the cited work; no resolution is supplied in the given text.
