Conjecture on identifiability of binary Segre products

About 15 years old · traced to

Let m>5m>5, and let kk be an integer satisfying

1≤k≤⌊2mm+1⌋−1.1\leq k\leq \left\lfloor \frac{2^m}{m+1}\right\rfloor-1.

The binary Segre product is the variety (P1)m({\mathbb{P}}^1)^m.

Identifiability conjecture. For all such mm and kk, the binary Segre product (P1)m({\mathbb{P}}^1)^m is kk-identifiable.

This conjecture proposes identifiability throughout the full range allowed by the elementary dimensional bound. The paper proves the weaker bound k+1≤2m−1/mk+1\leq 2^{m-1}/m and shows that (P1)5({\mathbb{P}}^1)^5 is not 44-identifiable; the conjectured statement remains open in the indicated generality.
