Conjecture on the exceptional set of Seshadri functions in Picard number two

Let AA be an abelian surface with Picard number two, and let ZZ be the subset of the compact cross section [1,1][-1,1] on which the restricted Seshadri function is not locally piecewise linear.

Exceptional-set conjecture.

  1. If AA is simple, then ZZ is perfect.
  2. If AA is non-simple, then ZZ is either perfect or finite with Z{0,1,2}|Z|\in\{0,1,2\}. Moreover, there are only finitely many intersection matrices such that ZZ is finite.

The set ZZ measures the complexity of the Seshadri function: it is empty in globally piecewise linear cases, while computational evidence suggests the stated perfect-or-finite dichotomy. The assertions are presented as conjectural computational evidence and remain open.
