The unit-coefficient conjecture for the resultant complex

Let Ai:={aNs:deg(a)=αi}{\mathcal A}_{i}:=\{a\in{\mathbb N}^s:\,\deg(a)=\alpha_i\}, let \ell be the index of the lattice spanned by iAi\bigcup_i{\mathcal A}_i in Zn\mathbb{Z}^n, and let cQc\in\mathbb{Q} be the constant such that the determinant of the resultant complex is

cresα0,,αn(F0,,Fn).c\cdot {\rm res}_{\alpha_0,\dots,\alpha_n}(F_0,\dots,F_n)^\ell.

Unit-coefficient conjecture. The constant c=±1c=\pm1.

This asserts that the determinant formula for the resultant complex has no nontrivial rational factor, up to sign. The supplied text gives no resolution or further evidence for this assertion.
