The regular-vector reconstruction conjecture for biplanes

About 11 years old · traced to

Let B{\cal B} be a biplane, let a1,a2,…,am∈Mˋva_1,a_2,\ldots,a_m\in{\cal \grave{M}}^v be vectors obeying the regular-vector property ∣fa,j−1(2)∣=q(a)|f_{a,j}^{-1}(2)|=q(a) for j∈Q(a)j\in Q(a), and let

Mˋv(a1a2…am):=Mˋv(a1^)∪…∪Mˋv(am^)∪Mˋiv,i∈E.{\cal \grave{M}}^{v({a_1}{a_2}\ldots{a_m})}:={\cal \grave{M}}^{v(\hat{a_1})}\cup\ldots\cup{\cal \grave{M}}^{v(\hat{a_m})}\cup{\cal \grave{M}}_i^v,\qquad i\in E.

Here Mˋv(a^){\cal \grave{M}}^{v(\hat a)}, Mˋv(a){\cal \grave{M}}^{v(a)}, EE, Q(a)Q(a), and the level sets fa,j−1(2)f_{a,j}^{-1}(2) are defined as in the preceding construction, and a 22-space is the associated vector space used to represent biplanes. Regular-vector reconstruction conjecture. There exists a natural number r>0r>0 such that the 22-spaces Mˋv(a1a2…am){\cal \grave{M}}^{v({a_1}{a_2}\ldots{a_m})} and Mˋv{\cal \grave{M}}^v contain biplanes of the same isomorphism class. The claim is presented as a conjecture supporting the paper's computational recognition method for biplanes. Because the source does not state what is known about this assertion, its resolution status is unclear.
