The hyperplane-intersection flattening conjecture for strictly convex projective polygons
Let be a strictly convex polygon in . Suppose that intersects a hyperplane with multiplicity , where . Call a vertex configuration a flattening when it has the polygonal analogue of an inflection point. Hyperplane-intersection flattening conjecture. The polygon has at least flattenings. The source notes that this statement is stronger than the preceding theorem, but gives no resolution or further evidence beyond presenting it among three discrete conjectures.
