Non-defectiveness conjecture for inverse Gaussian and gamma moment varieties

Let MdIG\mathcal{M}^\mathrm{IG}_d and MdΓ\mathcal{M}^{\Gamma}_d denote the moment varieties associated with the inverse Gaussian and gamma distributions, respectively. For k2k\geq 2, let Seck(M)\operatorname{Sec}_k(\mathcal{M}) denote the kkth secant variety of a variety M\mathcal{M}. Non-defectiveness conjecture.

Seck(MdIG) and Seck(MdΓ) are nondefective for all d2 and k2.\operatorname{Sec}_k(\mathcal{M}^\mathrm{IG}_d) \text{ and } \operatorname{Sec}_k(\mathcal{M}^{\Gamma}_d) \text{ are nondefective for all } d\geq 2 \text{ and } k\geq 2.

Computations in exact arithmetic verify non-defectiveness for all d,k100d,k\leq 100. The conjecture asserts that this computationally observed behavior holds for all indicated values of dd and kk.
