The Leading Terms Ideals Conjecture for rational monomial orders

Let RR be a strongly discrete coherent ring. For n\a01n\a0\geq 1, let R[X1,,Xn]R[X_1,\ldots,X_n] be a polynomial ring, and let \prec be a rational monomial order on its monomials. For a finitely generated ideal IR[X1,,Xn]I\subseteq R[X_1,\ldots,X_n], write LT(I)\operatorname{LT}_\prec(I) for its leading term ideal. A ring is nn-Gröbner if every finitely generated ideal of R[X1,,Xn]R[X_1,\ldots,X_n] has a finitely generated leading term ideal for the lexicographic order X1XnX_1\succ\cdots\succ X_n; it is a Gröbner ring if it is nn-Gröbner for every n1n\geq 1. The Leading Terms Ideals Conjecture. The following conditions are equivalent: (1) for every n1n\geq 1, every rational monomial order \prec on R[X1,,Xn]R[X_1,\ldots,X_n], and every finitely generated ideal IR[X1,,Xn]I\subseteq R[X_1,\ldots,X_n], the leading term ideal LT(I)\operatorname{LT}_\prec(I) is finitely generated; (2) RR is a Gröbner ring; and (3) RR is 11-Gröbner. The updated conjecture restricts the order condition to rational monomial orders after the corresponding assertion for all monomial orders was shown to be false; it reduces finite generation for these orders to the lexicographic Gröbner-ring and 11-Gröbner properties.
