Schubert-flip Devron conjecture for configurations of lines
Schubert-flip Devron conjecture for configurations of lines
Let , with , be a cyclically ordered sequence of lines in such that each intersects . Assume that the even lines coincide:
A Schubert flip replaces a line by the unique other line intersecting its four neighboring lines and .
Schubert-flip Devron conjecture. Apply Schubert flips in a bipartite manner, beginning with the even lines. After steps, one reaches another configuration in which half of the lines are equal.
This is the line-configuration analogue of the Devron property, with Schubert calculus supplying the two possible transversals to four generic lines in three-space. The source reports it as a system for which computer experiments suggest the property, so the assertion remains open.
