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

About 4 years old · traced to

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.
