Conjecture on the real rank boundary of ternary quartics
Conjecture on the real rank boundary of ternary quartics
Let be a ternary quartic, let be its middle catalecticant, and let and denote respectively the discriminant and the Blekherman discriminant. Let be the algebraic real rank boundary in . Quartic real rank boundary conjecture. The boundary is a reducible hypersurface of degree
with three irreducible components, and algebraically
This conjecture identifies the three expected boundary components: the catalecticant determinant, the discriminant, and the Blekherman discriminant. The source gives no resolution status.
