Dimca–Papadima conjecture on homaloidal hypersurfaces with isolated singularities

At least 13 years old · documented by

Let V(h)⊆PnV(h)\subseteq\mathbb{P}^n be a homaloidal hypersurface defined by a homogeneous polynomial hh of degree d≥3d\geq 3, and suppose that V(h)V(h) has only isolated singular points. Dimca–Papadima conjecture. There are no such homaloidal hypersurfaces when n≥3n\geq 3. The conjecture concerns the incompatibility between birationality of the gradient map and isolated singularities in dimensions at least three; the supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
