Generic injectivity conjecture for three-dimensional stiffness tensors
Generic injectivity conjecture for three-dimensional stiffness tensors
Let be the space of three-dimensional stiffness tensors, let map a stiffness tensor to its slowness polynomial, and write the target as . The slowness polynomial is the polynomial associated to the slowness surface of the tensor. Generic injectivity conjecture. The slowness polynomial associated to a generic stiffness tensor in dimension determines the stiffness tensor; equivalently, the map
is generically injective. The paper proves generic injectivity in dimension two and gives partial results for orthorhombic and monoclinic tensors in dimension three, while noting that the full three-dimensional statement remains unresolved in the supplied text.
