Zero-dimensionality conjecture for the systems LmL_m

About 14 years old · traced to

For each even integer m⩾24m\geqslant24, let LmL_m be the algebraic set defined by the system of equations of order mm.

Zero-dimensionality conjecture. LmL_m is zero-dimensional for every even m⩾24m\geqslant24.

If true for each fixed mm, the paper's theorem would imply that there are at most finitely many prime powers qq with q≡1(modm)q\equiv1\pmod m for which either Hq,mH_{q,m} or Mq,mM_{q,m} is a difference set in Fq\mathbb{F}_q.
