Kamčev–Morrison conjecture on uncommon minimal rank-2 systems

Let \boldsymbol{[?] be a (2×k)(2\times k)-system, and let s(Ψ)s(\Psi) denote the length of its shortest equation, where the length of an equation is the number of nonzero coefficients. A linear pattern is uncommon if it fails the commonness inequality for some 2-colouring. Kamčev–Morrison conjecture. For every even k6k\ge 6, any (2×k)(2\times k)-system Ψ\Psi with s(Ψ)=k1s(\Psi)=k-1 is uncommon. The paper's abstract states that this conjecture is verified for suitably generic pairs of linear equations on an even number of variables; the supplied material does not establish whether the full conjecture is resolved.
