Closedness conjecture for uniform matrix product state varieties

Let DD, dd, and NN be positive integers. Write uMPS(D,d,N)\operatorname{uMPS}(D,d,N) for the variety of uniform matrix product states, and let

CycN(Cd)\operatorname{Cyc}^N(\mathbb{C}^d)

be the ambient cyclic tensor space. The trivial cases are those listed in Proposition.

Closedness conjecture. Except for the trivial cases in Proposition, uMPS(D,d,N)\operatorname{uMPS}(D,d,N) is only closed if it fills the ambient space CycN(Cd)\operatorname{Cyc}^N(\mathbb{C}^d).

The conjecture predicts that, apart from explicitly identified trivial cases, a proper uniform matrix product state variety is not closed. The paper proves non-closedness in broad ranges using the injectivity radius, but the full assertion is not resolved there.
