The Eisenbud-Huneke-Ulrich conjecture and bounds on minimal generators

RESUMO

We prove the Eisenbud--Ulrich conjecture on the powers of linearly presented ideals in characteristic zero. More generally, we study stabilization bounds for powers of m-primary ideals in a polynomial ring with partially linear resolutions, making further progress toward the more general Eisenbud--Huneke--Ulrich conjecture. We prove a global generation result on relevant higher syzygy bundles, which is a crucial ingredient to the proof of the Eisenbud--Ulrich conjecture. We also establish lower bounds for the number of minimal generators in two settings: ideals generated by quadrics and ideals that are virtually linearly presented. Motivated by these results, we formulate a conjecture predicting sharp lower bounds for the number of minimal generators of such ideals.
