On the weak Lefschetz property for almost complete intersections generated by uniform powers of general linear forms

In 2012, Migliore, the first author, and Nagel conjectured that, for all $n\geq 4$, the artinian ideal $I=(L_0^d,\ldots,L_{2n+1}^d) \subset R=k[x_0,\ldots,x_{2n}]$ generated by the $d$-th powers of $2n+2$ general linear forms fails to have the weak Lefschetz property if and only if $d>1$. This paper is entirely devoted to prove partially this conjecture. More precisely, we prove that $R/I$ fails to have the weak Lefschetz property, provided $4\leq n\leq 8,\ d\geq 4$ or $d=2r,\ 1\leq r\leq 8,\ 4\leq n\leq 2r(r+2)-1$.
