Generic Green's conjecture for canonical curves

Let CC be a generic curve of genus gg in the moduli space, canonically embedded in Pg1{\bf P}^{g-1} when nonhyperelliptic. For a generic curve, the Clifford index is (g1)/2\lfloor (g-1)/2\rfloor, and property NpN_p is defined by requiring projective normality at N0N_0 and successively linear syzygies through the ppth step.

Generic Green's conjecture. The generic curve CC of genus gg satisfies

N(g3)/2.N_{\lfloor (g-3)/2\rfloor}.

This is a generic prediction about the syzygies of canonical curves and is presented in the source as a more modest form of Green's conjecture. The source does not provide a resolution status for this claim.
