Iarrobino's strengthened generalised Nagata conjecture for equal fat points

From papers

Let (r,d)(r,d) be integers satisfying

d2,rmax(d+5,2d),d\geq2,\qquad r\geq\max(d+5,2^d),

and (r,d){(7,2),(8,2),(9,2),(8,3),(9,3)}(r,d)\notin\{(7,2),(8,2),(9,2),(8,3),(9,3)\}. Let l(d,δ,μr)l(d,\delta,\mu^r) denote the dimension of the space of homogeneous degree-δ\delta polynomials on Pd{\mathbb P}^d vanishing to order μ\mu at rr general points. Iarrobino's strengthened conjecture. If

δrdμ,\delta\leq\sqrt[d]{r}\,\mu,

then l(d,δ,μr)=0l(d,\delta,\mu^r)=0. This version strengthens the preceding formulation by including the equality case, while excluding the exceptional pairs that would contradict it. The source gives no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
