Minimal Resolution Conjecture in multiprojective spaces

Determine whether the Minimal Resolution Conjecture holds for sets of points in multiprojective spaces, including products of projective spaces such as P^n × P^m.

Background

The Minimal Resolution Conjecture (MRC), originally formulated for points in projective space, predicts non-overlapping patterns of graded Betti numbers for sufficiently general points. While some special cases are known (e.g., points on smooth quadrics in P3), the general validity of MRC in multiprojective settings remains unresolved.

This paper relies on a weakened form of MRC tailored to P × P to construct explicit short virtual resolutions; the authors note that the full MRC remains open in multiprojective contexts.

Our second main result generalizes part of this work to P × P , while relying on a weakened form of the Minimal Resolution Conjecture (see Conjecture 4.4), which is open for multiprojective spaces.
