The re-embedding conjecture for non-simplicial MaxDeg planar order ideals

Let O{\mathcal{O}} be a non-simplicial MaxDeg planar order ideal, and let BO\mathbb{B}_{\mathcal{O}} denote its border basis scheme. A ZZ-separating re-embedding means a re-embedding obtained by eliminating variables associated with a ZZ-set, and let μ=#O\mu=\#{\mathcal{O}}. The segmentation type of O{\mathcal{O}} is the number of segments in its relevant border decomposition. The conjecture asserts that the following conditions are equivalent:

  1. There exists a ZZ-separating re-embedding of BO\mathbb{B}_{\mathcal{O}} which yields an isomorphism
BOA2μ.\mathbb{B}_{\mathcal{O}} \cong \mathbb{A}^{2\mu}.
  1. The segmentation type of O{\mathcal{O}} is one.

This conjecture predicts that, for non-simplicial MaxDeg planar order ideals, an affine-space re-embedding of the expected dimension exists exactly when the segmentation type is one. The source reports verification for a large number of explicitly computed examples, while the general equivalence remains open.
