Lima–Pereira–Nuño–Ballesteros–Orefice–Okamoto–Tomazella Tor-length conjecture

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let (R,m)(R,\mathfrak{m}) be a regular local ring of dimension nn. Let II be an ideal generated by an RR-regular sequence of length k≤nk\leq n, and let JJ be an ideal generated by a regular sequence of length nn. Assume that I+JI+J is m\mathfrak{m}-primary, and let ℓ\ell denote the length function on RR-modules. Lima–Pereira–Nuño–Ballesteros–Orefice–Okamoto–Tomazella conjecture. For every 0≤i≤k0\leq i\leq k,

ℓ(Tor⁡iR(R/I,R/J))=(ki)ℓ(RI+J).\ell\left(\operatorname{Tor}_i^R(R/I,R/J)\right)=\binom{k}{i}\ell\left(\frac{R}{I+J}\right).

This conjecture is a local Tor-length variant of the Buchsbaum–Eisenbud–Horrocks conjecture arising in the study of complete-intersection singularities. The paper states that the corresponding conjecture fails in general, while the displayed formulation is the original version being discussed.
