Singh's polynomial-ring conjecture on p-torsion in local cohomology

Let RR be a polynomial ring over the integers, and let Fi,GiRF_i,G_i\in R satisfy

F1G1++FnGn=0.F_1G_1+\dots+F_nG_n=0.

For a prime integer pp and a prime power q=peq=p^e, define

λq=(F1G1)q++(FnGn)qp.\lambda_q=\frac{(F_1G_1)^q+\dots+(F_nG_n)^q}{p}.

Singh's conjecture. There exists kNk\in\mathbb N such that

λq(G1Gn)k(G1q+k,,Gnq+k)R.\lambda_q(G_1\cdots G_n)^k\in(G_1^{q+k},\dots,G_n^{q+k})R.

Equivalently, the associated candidate pp-torsion class vanishes after a sufficiently high transition in the direct-limit description of local cohomology. The conjecture is established when n=2n=2, but the supplied text does not state a resolution in the polynomial-ring case for general nn.
