Face-relative-interior conjecture for stubborn forms
Face-relative-interior conjecture for stubborn forms
Let be a totally real variety, let denote its cone of nonnegative forms, and let be a face of . Face-relative-interior conjecture. Either every point in the relative interior of is stubborn, or no point in the relative interior of is stubborn. For smooth curves, this follows from the characterization in terms of real zeroes, but the assertion is open for general totally real varieties.
