Principal A-determinant stratification for the triple Segre product

About 3 years old · traced to

Let ww and w′w' be scalings for the Segre embedding of P1×P1×Pn\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^{n}, and let PnP_n denote the relevant polytope. For every face Γ⊆Pn\Gamma\subseteq P_n, let ΔΓ(w)\Delta_\Gamma(w) be the corresponding principal AA-determinant factor. Principal A-determinant stratification conjecture. If

ΔΓ(w)=0⟺ΔΓ(w′)=0\Delta_\Gamma(w)=0\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad\Delta_\Gamma(w')=0

for every face Γ⊆Pn\Gamma\subseteq P_n, then

mldeg⁡(Xw)=mldeg⁡(Xw′).\operatorname{mldeg}(X_w)=\operatorname{mldeg}(X_{w'}).

For the two-factor Segre embedding, the ML degree is already determined by the vanishing factors of the principal AA-determinant; the conjecture asserts the analogous statement for the triple product, which remains open.
