Local dimension conjecture for 12- and 13-point quaternionic simplices

About 13 years old · traced to

Let HP2{\mathbb H}{\mathbb P}^2 be quaternionic projective 22-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 1212-point, respectively 1313-point, tight simplex in HP2{\mathbb H}{\mathbb P}^2 such that, in a neighborhood of it, the space of tight simplices has dimension 99, respectively 66.

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.
