Symmetries of linear finite-type Frobenius systems

About 13 years old · traced to

Let μ:Y^(n)⊂X^(2n+2)\mu:\hat{Y}^{(n)} \subset \hat{X}^{(2n+2)} be a submanifold defined by an nn-th level linear finite-type equation. Let I^(2n+2)\hat{\rm I}^{(2n+2)} be the relevant Frobenius-system structure, and let Ak\textnormal{A}^k denote the Jacobi fields for k≤nk\leq n.

Symmetry conjecture. The pair (Y^(n),μ∗I^(2n+2))(\hat{Y}^{(n)},\mu^*\hat{\rm I}^{(2n+2)}) is a Frobenius system. Moreover, each Jacobi field Ak\textnormal{A}^k, k≤nk\leq n, has an associated locally defined symmetry vector field VAkV_{\textnormal{A}^k} on Y^(n)\hat{Y}^{(n)}, whose flow ϕk(t):Y^(n)→Y^(n)\phi_k(t):\hat{Y}^{(n)}\to\hat{Y}^{(n)} is a symmetry of μ∗I^(2n+2)\mu^*\hat{\rm I}^{(2n+2)}.

The claim expresses the expected inheritance of the canonical Jacobi-field symmetries by the linear finite-type equation. The supplied text gives no resolution or further evidence, so its status remains open.
