Piontkowski's three-cusp conjecture for rational cuspidal plane curves

About 13 years old · traced to

Let CC be a rational cuspidal plane curve of degree dd. The source identifies three specific series of tricuspidal curves in a table. Piontkowski's conjecture. If d≥6d\geq 6, then CC has at most three cusps; moreover, the curves of degree d≥6d\geq 6 with precisely three cusps occur in those three series. This conjecture was proposed after investigating almost all cuspidal curves of degree at most 2020; the source does not state that it has been proved or disproved.
