Conjecture on non-defectivity for degrees at least (3,3)(3,3)

Let n=(m,n)N2\mathbf{n}=(m,n)\in\mathbb{N}^2 and a=(a,b)N2\mathbf{a}=(a,b)\in\mathbb{N}^2, and let Xn,aX_{\mathbf{n},\mathbf{a}} be the two-factor Segre-Veronese variety associated with these parameters. Assume that a(3,3)\mathbf{a}\geq(3,3) coordinatewise.

Non-defectivity conjecture for degrees at least (3,3)(3,3). There are no defective two-factor Segre-Veronese varieties Xn,aX_{\mathbf{n},\mathbf{a}} for any nN2\mathbf{n}\in\mathbb{N}^2.

This is a weaker consequence suggested by the paper's broader classification conjecture. The paper gives computational evidence and known results supporting it, but does not establish the claim in full.
