Modified Bronowski conjecture on identifiability and secant-variety degree
Let be an irreducible and non-degenerate variety. Let denote the Zariski closure of the union of the -planes spanned by points of , and set
A variety of minimal degree has the smallest possible degree for its codimension.
Modified Bronowski conjecture. If a general -tangential projection of is birational and its image is a variety of minimal degree, then is -identifiable and
The degree in the conclusion is the smallest possible degree of the -secant variety. The conjecture was proposed as a modification of Bronowski's conjecture and is implied by the original conjecture, but the paper gives counterexamples to both statements.
