Dimension bound and equality characterization for binary graphical descriptions

About 2 years old · traced to

Fix a tuple of graphs (G1,…,Gd)(\mathcal{G}_1,\dots,\mathcal{G}_d) on vertex set [r][r], and let W⊂(R2)⊗dW \subset (\mathbb{R}^2)^{\otimes d} be the set described by this tuple. Assume that the tuple is a valid graphical description, so each Gj\mathcal{G}_j is a disjoint union of cjc_j complete bipartite graphs. Graphical-description dimension conjecture. Then

r+∑j=1dcj≤2d−1+d,r+\sum_{j=1}^d c_j\leq 2^{d-1}+d,

with equality only if r=2d−1r=2^{d-1}. This proposed bound would constrain the expected dimensions of all valid graphical-description varieties and would identify the only possible equality value of the number of summands.
