The homogeneous vanishing conjecture for Hessian-nilpotent polynomials

From papers

Let P(z)P(z) be a homogeneous Hessian-nilpotent polynomial of degree d2d\geq2, and define

α[n,d]=1d2((d1)n1(d1)).\alpha_{[n,d]}=\frac{1}{d-2}\bigl((d-1)^{n-1}-(d-1)\bigr).

Homogeneous vanishing conjecture. Both of the following vanishings should hold:

  1. ΔmPm+1=0\Delta^mP^{m+1}=0 for every m>α[n,d]m>\alpha_{[n,d]}.
  2. For every k1k\geq1, ΔmPm+k=0\Delta^mP^{m+k}=0 for every m>kα[n,d]m>k\alpha_{[n,d]}. This is a quantitative reformulation of the homogeneous vanishing conjecture, with an explicit bound derived from inverse-degree estimates; its validity is open in general.
