Conjecture on the defining ideal of orthogonal tensor trains

From papers

Let SOT2,nSOT_{2,n} denote the set of orthogonal tensor trains of length 22 in Cn4\mathbb{C}^{n^4}, and let Pn\mathcal P_n, Qn\mathcal Q_n, and hnh_n be the polynomial families and polynomial defined in the preceding results. The Zariski closure of SOT2,nSOT_{2,n} is the algebraic set defined by the vanishing of these polynomials.

Defining-ideal conjecture. The Zariski closure of SOT2,nSOT_{2,n} in Cn4\mathbb{C}^{n^4} is cut out by the vanishing of Pn\mathcal P_n, Qn\mathcal Q_n, and hnh_n. The ideal defined by these equations is prime.

This conjecture proposes a complete set-theoretic and scheme-theoretic description of the Zariski closure of SOT2,nSOT_{2,n}; the preceding discussion gives computational evidence for n=2n=2 and n=3n=3, while the general case remains open.
