The lex-plus-powers conjecture over fields of characteristic zero

Claims the lex-plus-powers conjecture over every characteristic-zero field, for regular sequences of any length with degrees at least two and no growth condition, with no restriction on the other generators of II; this contains the Eisenbud-Green-Harris statement. The key new step is a Hilbert-matching monomial ideal with no smaller Betti numbers (Mermin-Murai Conjecture 10.2). It does NOT treat positive characteristic.
