Uniqueness conjecture for nice forms of homogeneous polynomials
Uniqueness conjecture for nice forms of homogeneous polynomials
Let be a homogeneous polynomial of degree . It is in nice form if
where has no terms of the form or , and it is nice if a linear coordinate change brings it to nice form. A polynomial is nonsingular when its associated projective hypersurface is nonsingular.
Uniqueness conjecture. Every nonsingular homogeneous polynomial is nice. For degree greater than , there is precisely one choice of coordinates in which a nice polynomial reaches nice form, up to permutation of coordinates and, if the degree is even, switching signs of coordinates.
This proposes a normal-form and uniqueness statement for nonsingular homogeneous polynomials; the supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
