The M-regularity index conjecture for syzygies of abelian varieties

About 25 years old · traced to

Let XX be an abelian variety and let AA be an ample line bundle on XX. The M-regularity index m(A)m(A) is the largest integer ll such that

A⊗mx1k1⊗⋯⊗mxpkpA\otimes \mathfrak m_{x_1}^{k_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathfrak m_{x_p}^{k_p}

is MM-regular for all distinct points x1,…,xp∈Xx_1,\ldots,x_p\in X with ∑ki=l\sum k_i=l. Here a line bundle satisfies property NpN_p when its embedding has the corresponding syzygy property. The M-regularity index conjecture. If p≥mp\ge m are non-negative integers and m(A)≥mm(A)\ge m, then

A⊗k satisfies Npfor every k≥p+3−m.A^{\otimes k}\text{ satisfies }N_p\quad\text{for every }k\ge p+3-m.

This proposes a general relationship between the higher-order properties of an ample line bundle and the equations and syzygies of the associated embedding. The source presents it as a natural question raised by the preceding syzygy theorem; its resolution is not specified here.
