Ciliberto–Ottaviani conjecture on the birationality of Hessian maps
Let be the graded polynomial ring in with complex coefficients. For a degree homogeneous polynomial , define its Hessian polynomial by
For and , this gives the rational Hessian map
Ciliberto–Ottaviani conjecture. The map induces a birational morphism onto its image when , , and . This conjecture concerns the birationality of Hessian maps for homogeneous polynomials. The binary case is known: the corresponding map is birational onto its image if and only if . The cubic-surface case is also known, while the stated claim includes quartic plane curves and excludes the exceptional pair ; the source presents it as an open conjecture.
