The coloured-cycle symmetry conjecture for inverse linear forms

About 6 years old · traced to

Let GG be a coloured nn-cycle, and let I(L−1)I(\mathcal{L}^{-1}) denote the ideal associated with the inverse linear concentration model. A binomial linear form is a linear polynomial involving two monomials, and it is induced by symmetries when it arises from the action of graph symmetries on the model.

Coloured-cycle symmetry conjecture. All binomial linear forms in I(L−1)I(\mathcal{L}^{-1}) are induced by symmetries.

The conjecture asserts that, for coloured cycles, graph symmetries account for every binomial linear relation in the inverse model. The statement is presented as a conjecture after computations for the 33-, 44-, and 55-cycles; no resolution is supplied here.
