Closedness conjecture for uniform matrix product state varieties

About 7 years old · traced to

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

Cyc⁡N(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 Cyc⁡N(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.
