Adiprasito–Schmidt stability conjecture for slice rank of subspaces

About 2 years old · traced to

Let d≥2d\geq 2, let K\mathbb{K} be a field, and let W⊆Kn1⊗⋯⊗Knd\mathsf{W}\subseteq\mathbb{K}^{n_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{K}^{n_d} be a linear subspace. Write K‾\overline{\mathbb{K}} for an algebraic closure of K\mathbb{K}, and let SR⁡K(W)\operatorname{SR}_{\mathbb{K}}(\mathsf{W}) denote the slice rank. Stability conjecture for slice rank of subspaces. There is a constant C≔C(d)>0C\coloneqq C(d)>0 such that

SR⁡K(W)≤CSR⁡K‾(W⊗K‾).\operatorname{SR}_{\mathbb{K}}(\mathsf{W})\leq C\operatorname{SR}_{\overline{\mathbb{K}}}(\mathsf{W}\otimes\overline{\mathbb{K}}).

The conjecture was introduced in the cited work; the paper discusses stronger stability results for related slice-rank questions but does not state that this conjecture itself is resolved.
