The exact-one failure conjecture for the weak Lefschetz property

About 4 years old · traced to

Let CI(d,d,d,d)CI(d,d,d,d) denote the parameter space of complete intersections generated by four forms of degree dd. Say that a member fails WLP by more than one or fails WLP by exactly one according to the deficiency in maximal rank described in the paper. Let X⊂CI(d,d,d,d)X\subset CI(d,d,d,d) be the locus of complete intersections that fail by more than one, and let YY be the locus of those that fail by exactly one.

Exact-one failure conjecture. If there is a complete intersection J∈CI(d,d,d,d)J\in CI(d,d,d,d) that fails WLP by more than one, then there exists a complete intersection I∈CI(d,d,d,d)I\in CI(d,d,d,d) that fails WLP by exactly one; more precisely,

X⊂Y‾.X\subset\overline{Y}.

This is proposed as the reduction step needed to prove the general height-four WLP conjecture: it would suffice to analyze failures by exactly one. The paper does not resolve this conjecture.
