Characteristic-two classification conjecture for maximal 1-star-spec spaces

About 13 years old · traced to

Let K\mathbb{K} be a field of characteristic 22 with more than 22 elements. Let V\mathcal{V} be a 1‾⋆\overline{1}^\star-spec subspace of M⁡n(K)\operatorname{M}_n(\mathbb{K}) with

dim⁡V=(n2)+2.\dim \mathcal{V}=\binom{n}{2}+2.

Write NT⁡r(K)\operatorname{NT}_r(\mathbb{K}) for the strictly upper-triangular r×rr\times r matrices, write sl2(K)\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{K}) for the trace-zero 2×22\times2 matrices, and let ∨\vee denote the block upper-triangular join. Characteristic-two maximal 1-star-spec classification conjecture. There exists a unique p∈{0,…,n−2}p\in\{0,\ldots,n-2\} such that

V≃NT⁡p(K)∨sl2(K)∨NT⁡n−p−2(K).\mathcal{V}\simeq \operatorname{NT}_p(\mathbb{K})\vee\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{K})\vee\operatorname{NT}_{n-p-2}(\mathbb{K}).

This is a classification conjecture for the extremal spaces corresponding to the proposed characteristic-two bound; uniqueness is asserted only for the integer pp, up to similarity of matrix spaces.
