The quasi-homogeneity criterion for 3-syzygy plane curves

Let C=V(f)C=V(f) be a reduced 33-syzygy plane curve, meaning that it has a first syzygy matrix MfM_f that is a square matrix of size 33. Let pSing(C)p\in\operatorname{Sing}(C) be an isolated singular point. The 3-syzygy quasi-homogeneity conjecture. The point pp is quasi-homogeneous if and only if

rkMf(p)1.\operatorname{rk} M_f(p)\geq 1.

For free and nearly free curves, analogous criteria relate quasi-homogeneity of singularities to the rank of a first syzygy matrix; the conjecture proposes that the same characterization extends to reduced 3-syzygy plane curves, based on the examples tested in the paper.
