Perfect-rank non-identifiability conjecture for Segre varieties

About 10 years old · traced to

Let d≥3d\ge3 and n1≥n2≥⋯≥nd≥2n_1\ge n_2\ge\cdots\ge n_d\ge2. Let S=Seg⁡(PCn1×⋯×PCnd)\mathcal S=\operatorname{Seg}(\mathbb P\mathbb C^{n_1}\times\cdots\times\mathbb P\mathbb C^{n_d}) be the Segre variety in P(Cn1⊗⋯⊗Cnd)\mathbb P(\mathbb C^{n_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb C^{n_d}), and suppose that r‾S\overline r_{\mathcal S} is an integer. Perfect-rank non-identifiability conjecture. The variety S\mathcal S is not generically r‾S\overline r_{\mathcal S}-identifiable, except when it is Seg⁡(PC5×PC4×PC3)\operatorname{Seg}(\mathbb P\mathbb C^5\times\mathbb P\mathbb C^4\times\mathbb P\mathbb C^3) or Seg⁡(PC3×PC2×PC2×PC2)\operatorname{Seg}(\mathbb P\mathbb C^3\times\mathbb P\mathbb C^2\times\mathbb P\mathbb C^2\times\mathbb P\mathbb C^2). This concerns the perfect case, where the expected generic rank is integral, and complements the subtypical identifiability results discussed in the source.
