Conjecture on robust eigenvectors of regular simplex tensors

Let w1,,wn+1Rn\mathbf{w}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{w}_{n+1}\in\mathbb{R}^n be the vectors of a regular simplex frame, and let

S:=i=1n+1wim\mathcal{S}:=\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}\mathbf{w}_i^{\circ m}

be the associated symmetric tensor of order mm and dimension nn, where \circ denotes the outer product. A robust eigenvector is an eigenvector of the tensor power method whose fixed point is robust under the relevant perturbations. Robust-eigenvector conjecture. The robust eigenvectors of a regular simplex tensor are precisely the vectors in the frame. The paper studies this claim for regular simplex tensors; the supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
