The proposed classification of 4-chambars on an open subset of the complex line

A 44-chambar is a chambar consisting of four vector fields on an open subset of C\mathbb{C}; two such objects are affinely conjugate when related by an affine change of coordinate. A chambar is rigid if it has no nontrivial deformations, and special denotes the class described in the statement. The tt-degree refers to the degree in tt of the associated flow.

4-chambar classification conjecture. Up to affine conjugacy, every 44-chambar on an open subset of C\mathbb{C} is one of the following types:

  • constant Ch(a1x,a2x,a3x,a4x)\mathrm{Ch}\left(a_1\frac{\partial}{\partial x},a_2\frac{\partial}{\partial x},a_3\frac{\partial}{\partial x},a_4\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\right), with akCa_k\in\mathbb{C}^*;
  • rigid of tt-degree 22: Ch(a1X,a2X,a3X,a4X)\mathrm{Ch}(a_1X,a_2X,a_3X,a_4X), where X=2xxX=2\sqrt{x}\,\frac{\partial}{\partial x} and
a1+a2+a3+a4=a12+a22+a32+a42=0;a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4=a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2=0;
  • rigid of tt-degree 33: Ch(X,σX,σ2X,σ3X)\mathrm{Ch}(X,\sigma X,\sigma^2X,\sigma^3X), where XX has tt-degree 33 and σ\sigma is a fourth root of unity;
  • special Ch(X,X,Y,Y)\mathrm{Ch}(X,-X,Y,-Y), where XX and YY have tt-degree 22.

The claim is a classification of the four-element configurations considered in the paper. The supplied source gives no resolution, although the surrounding discussion presents the list as a proposed classification.
