The zero-set characterization conjecture for the Kobayashi–Royden pseudometric of the spectral unit ball
Let be the spectral unit ball, let , and let . Write for the Kobayashi–Royden pseudometric and for the cone of tangent vectors admitting a holomorphic entire disc through with derivative . Zero-set characterization conjecture. One has
if and only if there is with and . In particular, if , then . This conjecture seeks an exact description of the zero set of the Kobayashi–Royden pseudometric; the supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
