Davydov–Marcugini–Pambianco orbit-count conjecture for generic lines in
Let be a power of , let act on the lines of , and let be the twisted cubic. A line is generic if it neither intersects nor lies in any osculating plane of ; write for the class of generic lines. Davydov–Marcugini–Pambianco's conjecture. The number of -orbits of generic lines of is , of which there are , , and orbits of sizes , , and , respectively. This conjecture gives the proposed classification of the generic-line class into -orbits in characteristic , a case that had remained open after the corresponding problems in characteristics different from and , and in characteristic , were solved.
