Partition rank versus analytic rank conjecture

About 4 years old · traced to

Let d≥2d\geq 2, let qq be a prime power, and let T∈Fqn1⊗⋯⊗FqndT\in\mathbb{F}_q^{n_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{F}_q^{n_d}, with PR⁡Fq(T)\operatorname{PR}_{\mathbb{F}_q}(T) and AR⁡Fq(T)\operatorname{AR}_{\mathbb{F}_q}(T) denoting its partition and analytic ranks. Partition rank vs. analytic rank conjecture. There exists a constant C≔C(d,q)>0C\coloneqq C(d,q)>0 such that

PR⁡Fq(T)≤CAR⁡Fq(T).\operatorname{PR}_{\mathbb{F}_q}(T)\leq C\operatorname{AR}_{\mathbb{F}_q}(T).

This is one of the paper’s three recalled rank-comparison conjectures; the source gives no resolution, while noting that versions with constants depending only on dd are the original formulations.
