The virtual-resolution minimality conjecture for multigraded regular modules

Let SS be the Cox ring of a product of projective spaces, let BB be its irrelevant ideal, and let MM be a multigraded SS-module. For a multidegree d\mathbf d, write M(d)M(\mathbf d) for the corresponding shift, MdM_{\geq\mathbf d} for its multigraded truncation, and let HBi(M)\mathcal{H}_B^i(M) denote the iith local cohomology module with support in BB. Assume that MM is d\mathbf d-regular and that

HB0(M)=HB1(M)=0.\mathcal{H}_B^0(M)=\mathcal{H}_B^1(M)=0.

Virtual-resolution minimality conjecture. The virtual resolution of M(d)M(\mathbf d) from Proposition~ is the minimal free resolution of Md(d)M_{\geq\mathbf d}(\mathbf d).

The conjecture proposes that the linear-presentation hypothesis in Corollary~ is unnecessary. It would identify the virtual resolution obtained from multigraded regularity with the ordinary minimal free resolution of the truncated module under the stated local-cohomological vanishing conditions.
