Baur–Draisma–de Graaf conjecture on secant defectivity of Grassmannians
Let denote the Grassmannian of -planes in projective -space, and let be a positive integer. A projective variety is called -defective when its -secant variety has dimension smaller than the expected dimension. Baur–Draisma–de Graaf's conjecture. If , then is not -defective, with the following exceptions:
The conjecture concerns the dimensions of secant varieties of Grassmannians, which are closely related to tensor-rank and skew-symmetric matrix-rank questions. The cited source proposes this as a classification of the defective cases; its resolution status is not established by the supplied text.
