Projective equivalence conjecture for generalized pentagram maps

At least 4 years old · documented by

Let PP be a (k+3)(k+3)-gon in RPk\mathbb{RP}^k, where k≥2k\geq 2, and let J=(1,…,1)J=(1,\ldots,1). For even kk, let I=(1,…,1,2,1,…,1)I=(1,\ldots,1,2,1,\ldots,1) with the same number of 11's before and after the 22; for odd kk, let I=(1,1,…,1,2,1,…,1)I=(1,1,\ldots,1,2,1,\ldots,1) with one more 11 before the 22 than after it. Projective equivalence conjecture. The polygons PP and TI,J(P)T_{I,J}(P) are projectively equivalent. Computer-based experiments suggest that this extends the known projective invariance of pentagons in RP2\mathbb{RP}^2 and hexagons in RP3\mathbb{RP}^3 under suitable generalized pentagram maps; the claim concerns projective self-duality phenomena for polygons in arbitrary higher dimensions and remains unproved in the supplied text.
