Discrete bilinear-form values conjecture
Discrete bilinear-form values conjecture
Let be the real or complex field, let be a non-degenerate symmetric or skew-symmetric bilinear form on , and let be an -element point set. Define
The exceptional case in which is empty occurs when is skew-symmetric and is supported on a single line through the origin. Discrete bilinear-form values conjecture. Outside this exceptional case,
meaning a lower bound of order up to possible logarithmic factors in . This is presented as a central open question in discrete projective plane geometry; the paper proves the weaker bound , while the conjectured near-linear estimate remains open.
