The generating conjecture for homogeneous invariants of the 2-state GM+I model
The generating conjecture for homogeneous invariants of the 2-state GM+I model
Let be an -taxon binary tree, and let and denote the joint-distribution coordinates in which every state is respectively and . Consider the edge flattenings of the joint-distribution tensor, their minors, and the stochastic invariant for the 2-state general Markov model with invariable sites (GM+I).
Generating conjecture. The ideal of homogeneous invariants for the 2-state GM+I model on is generated by those minors of edge flattenings that do not involve the variables and , together with the stochastic invariant.
This gives a proposed complete generating set for the homogeneous phylogenetic ideal of the 2-state GM+I model on every binary tree, extending the known edge-flattening invariants while accounting for the two all-equal-state coordinates.
