The asymptotic two-value conjecture for the Hilbert depth of In,nI_{n,n}

From papers

Let SS be the polynomial ring and In,nI_{n,n} the special class of squarefree monomial ideals considered in the paper, and let hdepth(S/In,n)\operatorname{hdepth}(S/I_{n,n}) denote the Hilbert depth of its quotient. Based on computer experiments, Hilbert-depth two-value conjecture. There exists a constant α1.817\alpha\approx 1.817 such that

hdepth(S/In,n){αn2,αn1},n2.\operatorname{hdepth}(S/I_{n,n})\in \{\left\lfloor \alpha n \right\rfloor - 2,\left\lfloor \alpha n \right\rfloor - 1\},\qquad n\geq 2.

The claim predicts that the Hilbert depth is confined to two consecutive values determined by a linear function of nn. The parser supplies no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved, so its status is left open.
