Non-generation conjecture for higher-dimensional polar Grassmannians
Let be a proper subfield of a field , and let denote the polar Grassmannian of maximal singular subspaces of the hyperbolic quadric . Say that this polar Grassmannian is -generated when it is generated by its -rational elements. Non-generation conjecture. For every and every proper subfield of , is never -generated. The conjecture is motivated by the proof of the corresponding result in the case of lines on , which uses that each such line lies in precisely two singular planes; its validity in all higher dimensions remains open.
