Quadratic growth conjecture for the Heisenberg algebra
Let be the Heisenberg algebra, and let denote the gradient Lipschitz constant for the objective class under consideration on the radius- region.
Quadratic growth conjecture.
The Heisenberg algebra is nilpotent and has no hyperbolic elements, but its bracket structure differs from that of . Establishing matching quadratic upper and lower bounds would determine whether the growth observed for persists in this setting and would clarify whether the same exponent holds more broadly for non-compact Lie algebras without hyperbolic elements.
