Characteristic polynomial fiber-dimension conjecture for partially symmetric tensors

From papers

Let n2n \geq 2 and d3d \geq 3, with (n,d)(2,3),(3,3),(2,4)(n,d) \notin\\{(2,3),(3,3),(2,4)\\}. Let Φ\Phi be the characteristic polynomial map on partially symmetric tensors

Φ:Cn+1Sd1Cn+1C[λ]D(n,d)mon,TφT(λ).\Phi:\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\otimes S^{d-1}\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\longrightarrow \mathbb{C}[\lambda]^{\mathit{mon}}_{D(n,d)},\qquad T\longmapsto \varphi_T(\lambda).

Characteristic polynomial fiber-dimension conjecture. The generic fiber of Φ\Phi is equidimensional of dimension nn.

The conjecture refines an earlier conjecture that the generic fiber is finite, which is false because a subgroup HH preserving the characteristic polynomial acts on the tensor space. The excluded cases are among those where Φ\Phi is dominant, and the dimension nn is known to be a lower bound for the generic fiber dimension; the asserted equidimensionality remains the proposed statement.
