Gupta's three-set polynomial Sylvester–Gallai conjecture
Let , , and be finite disjoint sets of irreducible homogeneous polynomials in of degree at most . Assume that for every pair from distinct sets, there is a polynomial in the remaining set such that whenever and vanish, also vanishes; the polynomials are pairwise linearly independent as noted in the source.
Gupta's three-set polynomial Sylvester–Gallai conjecture. There is a function such that
For this is the Edelstein–Kelly theorem. The source says the conjecture was open for degrees greater than one and proves the quadratic case, again with the stronger conclusion that the linear span has bounded dimension.
