The prime-power annihilation conjecture for polynomial rings over the integers

Let RR be a polynomial ring over the integers, and let fi,gif_i,g_i be elements of RR satisfying

f1g1++fngn=0.f_1g_1+\dots+f_ng_n=0.

Prime-power annihilation conjecture. For every prime power q=peq=p^e, there exists kNk\in\mathbb{N} such that

(f1g1)q++(fngn)qp(g1gn)k(g1q+k,,gnq+k)R.\frac{(f_1g_1)^q+\dots+(f_ng_n)^q}{p}(g_1\cdots g_n)^k\in(g_1^{q+k},\dots,g_n^{q+k})R.

This conjecture is motivated by the problem of controlling torsion in local cohomology over polynomial rings over the integers and is presented as an open consequence-related problem in the source.
