The higher infinitesimal-neighbourhood conjecture for codimension-two linear spaces

About 24 years old · traced to

Let PN\mathbb{P}^N with N≥6N\geq 6 be a linear subspace of codimension two in PN+2\mathbb{P}^{N+2}. Let MM denote the integer occurring in the infinitesimal-neighbourhood notation, and let YY be a Cohen–Macaulay scheme satisfying

(PN)(M)⊂Y⊂(PN)(M+1)(\mathbb{P}^N)^{(M)}\subset Y\subset (\mathbb{P}^N)^{(M+1)}

and having degree equal to the degree of (PN)(M)+2(\mathbb{P}^N)^{(M)}+2. The higher infinitesimal-neighbourhood conjecture. There exists a Cohen–Macaulay scheme ZZ of degree equal to the degree of (PN)(M)+1(\mathbb{P}^N)^{(M)}+1 such that

(PN)(M)⊂Z⊂Y.(\mathbb{P}^N)^{(M)}\subset Z\subset Y.

The source states that this multiple-structure conjecture is equivalent to Hartshorne's conjecture; its resolution is not established by the supplied text.
