Sottile's general secant conjecture
Sottile's general secant conjecture
Let and let , where is a composition of . Let be pairwise disjoint real intervals. A generalized secant flag to the moment curve along an interval is a complete flag whose subspaces are generalized secants to along that interval. Sottile's general secant conjecture. If are generalized secant flags along , respectively, then the corresponding Schubert intersection is real and scheme-theoretically reduced. The divisor case is proved in the paper, but the general form remains open.
