Lin–Zhao stability conjecture for collective strength

Let K\mathbb{K} be a field with

char(K)=0orchar(K)>d,\operatorname{char}(\mathbb{K})=0\quad\text{or}\quad\operatorname{char}(\mathbb{K})>d,

and let PK[x1,,xn]dP\in\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]_d be a homogeneous polynomial of degree dd. Here strK(P)\operatorname{str}_{\mathbb{K}}(P) denotes the strength of PP, and K\overline{\mathbb{K}} is an algebraic closure of K\mathbb{K}. Lin–Zhao's stability conjecture. One has

strK(P)dstrK(P).\operatorname{str}_{\mathbb{K}}(P)\asymp_d\operatorname{str}_{\overline{\mathbb{K}}}(P).

The relation d\asymp_d denotes linear equivalence with constants depending on dd. The source states this as a consequence of the partition-rank stability conjecture and notes that the asserted linear bound improves earlier polynomial bounds for infinite perfect fields; the general conjecture remains open there.
