Higher-dimensional doubly ruled incidence conjecture for algebraic curves
Let be a set of irreducible algebraic curves in , each of degree at most , and let denote the set of points incident to at least two curves of . Higher-dimensional doubly ruled incidence conjecture for algebraic curves. Either
or there exist an integer with and an irreducible affine variety of dimension which is generically doubly ruled by algebraic curves of degree at most and contains at least curves of . This is the curve analogue of the line conjecture and extends the proposed higher-dimensional incidence alternative beyond straight lines; the source presents it as a conjectural generalization, with no resolution supplied.
