Nonsingularity conjecture for elliptic inflectionary curves

About 8 years old · traced to

Let k≥1k\geq 1, and let C(1,k)‾\overline{\mathcal{C}(1,k)} be the projective plane inflectionary curve defined by the homogenized inflection polynomial P1,kP_{1,k}, with singular points p1=[0:0:1]p_1=[0:0:1], p2=[0:1:0]p_2=[0:1:0], and p3=[1:1:1]p_3=[1:1:1]. Nonsingularity conjecture. For every positive integer k≥1k\geq 1, the plane curve C(1,k)‾\overline{\mathcal{C}(1,k)} is nonsingular along P2∖{p1,p2,p3}\mathbb{P}^2\setminus\{p_1,p_2,p_3\}. The preceding symmetries imply that the singularities at the three listed points are analytically isomorphic; the conjecture concerns the absence of any other singularities.
