Generic geometric syzygy conjecture for canonical curves

Let CPg1C \subset \mathbb{P}^{g-1} be a general canonical curve of genus gg. A pp-th linear syzygy of CC is scrollar if it has rank p+2p+2.

Generic geometric syzygy conjecture. For every pp, the space of pp-th linear syzygies of CC is spanned by scrollar syzygies.

This conjecture proposes that scrollar syzygies account for all linear syzygies of a general canonical curve. The preceding discussion relates scrollar syzygies to linear systems on canonical curves and notes that, for general kk-gonal canonical curves, Green's conjecture is equivalent to the existence of a scrollar syzygy in every step of the linear strand.
