Review text

Let \(X\) be a general set of \(s\) points in \(\mathbb{P}^ n\) and let \(I_ X\) be its saturated ideal. One is interested in studying the minimal free resolution of \(I_ X\). A result of Geramita and Maroscia says that \(I_ X\) is generated in the first two degrees in which it is non-zero (which depends only on \(s\)), and a result of Lorenzini says that more generally each free module in the minimal free resolution is non-zero in at most two degrees. The \textit{minimal resolution conjecture} concerns the rank of each of these free modules in these two degrees (i.e.\ the graded Betti numbers), or equivalently the number of generators in each of these two degrees, for \(I_ X\) and for each syzygy module \(N_ i\) of the resolution. It says that this number should be as small as possible in all cases. Special cases of this conjecture are the ideal generation conjecture (for the beginning of the resolution) and the Cohen-Macaulay type conjecture (for the end of the resolution). Significant work on this problem has been done by Lorenzini, Ballico and Geramita, Ngo Viet Trung and Valla, Cavaliere, Rossi and Valla, among others. The paper under review considers the special case \(n=4\) and re-writes the conjectures explicitly in this case. It then gives some relationships between the various conjectures in the case \(n=4\).
