Ghosh's regular-sequence conjecture for the Casas–Alvero problem
Let be a field, let be a positive integer, and set . For , let be given by for and , while is the identity. Let be the -th elementary symmetric function, set , and for define . Ghosh's regular-sequence conjecture. For every choice of , the sequence of homogeneous polynomials
forms a regular sequence in . This is an equivalent algebraic formulation of the Casas–Alvero conjecture over arbitrary fields. The paper attributes this formulation to Soham Ghosh; its general validity remains open.
