The mu-class closure conjecture for rational parametrizations

From papers

Let K{\mathbb K} be an algebraically closed field. For a positive integer nn, let Pn{\mathcal P}_n be the set of triples (a,b,c)K[t]n3(a,b,c)\in {\mathbb K}[t]_n^3 with gcd(a,b,c)=1\gcd(a,b,c)=1 and deg(a,b,c)=n\deg(a,b,c)=n, and let μ(a,b,c)\mu(a,b,c) be the least degree of a nonzero syzygy of (a,b,c)(a,b,c). Define

Pnμ:={(a,b,c)Pn:μ(a,b,c)=μ}.{\mathcal P}^\mu_n:=\{(a,b,c)\in{\mathcal P}_n:\mu(a,b,c)=\mu\}.

Mu-class closure conjecture. For every μn/2\mu\leq\lfloor n/2\rfloor,

Pnμ=Pn0Pnμ.\overline{{\mathcal P}^\mu_n}={\mathcal P}^0_n\cup\dots\cup{\mathcal P}^\mu_n.

Equivalently, if μ<n/2\mu<\lfloor n/2\rfloor, every parametrization of class μ\mu is a limit of parametrizations of class μ+1\mu+1. The result describes the closure relations among strata of rational parametrizations by syzygy class; the maximal-class closure was already known, while the asserted relations for lower classes were conjectural in the cited work.
