Strassen's rank-preserving pair conjecture for Segre varieties

About 16 years old · traced to

Let Aj=Aj′⊕Aj”A_j=A_j'\oplus A_j” be decompositions of vector spaces, and set

L=P((A1′⊗⋯⊗Ak′)⊕(A1”⊗⋯⊗Ak”)).L=\mathbb P\bigl((A_1'\otimes\cdots\otimes A_k')\oplus(A_1”\otimes\cdots\otimes A_k”)\bigr).

Let X=Seg⁡(PA1×⋯×PAk)X=\operatorname{Seg}(\mathbb P A_1\times\cdots\times\mathbb P A_k), and let RXR_X denote the XX-rank. Strassen's rank-preserving pair conjecture. The pair (X,L)(X,L) is rank preserving: if Y=(X∩L)red⁡Y=(X\cap L)_{\operatorname{red}}, then ⟨Y⟩=L\langle Y\rangle=L and RX∣L=RYR_X|_L=R_Y. The supplied text presents this as a question/conjecture of Strassen and does not give a resolution.
