Desargues configuration criterion for five-tuples of matrices

About 5 years old · traced to

Let A1,…,A5A_1,\dots,A_5 be real matrices whose degeneracy locus X:=X(A1,…,A5){\mathcal X}:={\mathcal X}(A_1,\dots,A_5) is formed from the associated ten lines in P3{\mathbb P}^3. Desargues configuration conjecture. If X{\mathcal X} consists of ten real lines in P3{\mathbb P}^3 which intersect in ten points corresponding to a Desargues configuration, then (A1,…,A5)(A_1,\dots,A_5) are in the linear span of five fixed rank-one matrices. The conjecture gives a necessary condition for a degeneracy locus to satisfy the Desargues configuration; the supplied text does not indicate whether the condition has been proved or remains open.
