Local dimension conjecture for 12- and 13-point quaternionic simplices
Let be quaternionic projective -space, and let the space of tight simplices mean the local moduli space of tight simplices, with the stated dimension understood in a neighborhood of the simplex.
Local dimension conjecture. There exists a -point, respectively -point, tight simplex in such that, in a neighborhood of it, the space of tight simplices has dimension , respectively .
The conjecture is motivated by numerical rank-deficiency evidence after existence of the relevant simplices had been established. The local manifold structure and dimensions remain open in the source.
