Strong radical Sylvester–Gallai conjecture

Let \rK\rK be the base field, let dNd\in\N, and let \cF\cF be an \rsgd\rsg{d} configuration. Write \Kspan\cF\Kspan{\cF} for its \rK\rK-linear span. Strong radical Sylvester–Gallai conjecture. There is a function

λ:NN\lambda: \N \to \N

such that

dim(\Kspan\cF)λ(d)\dim\bigl(\Kspan{\cF}\bigr)\leq\lambda(d)

for every \rsgd\rsg{d} configuration \cF\cF. This is explicitly presented as a stronger version of the radical Sylvester–Gallai conjecture, since transcendence degree is bounded by the dimension of the linear span; the source supplies no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
