Atiyah-Sutcliffe's determinant bound conjecture for hyperbolic configurations

About 24 years old · traced to

Let Cn(H3)C_n(H^3) be the configuration space of nn distinct points in hyperbolic 33-space H3H^3. For x∈Cn(H3)\mathbf{x}\in C_n(H^3), let D(x)D(\mathbf{x}) be the normalized Atiyah-Sutcliffe determinant formed from the direction polynomials pa(t)p_a(t) and the pairwise polynomials pab(t)=t−tabp_{ab}(t)=t-t_{ab}.

Atiyah-Sutcliffe's determinant bound conjecture. For every x∈Cn(H3)\mathbf{x}\in C_n(H^3),

∣D(x)∣≥1.|D(\mathbf{x})|\geq 1.

This is the second Atiyah-Sutcliffe conjecture and strengthens the nonvanishing assertion by imposing a uniform lower bound on the normalized determinant. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
