The classification of numerically elementary -curves with
Let be the numerical data of an elementary -curve in the relevant blow-up of projective space, where is its degree and is the largest multiplicity among the assigned points. Such a curve is numerically elementary when its numerical data satisfy the equalities defining an elementary -curve.
Classification conjecture. The only numerically elementary -curves satisfying are the lines through two points.
The examples preceding the conjecture exhibit numerical sequences satisfying the defining equalities but not corresponding to elementary -curves; together with the stated proposition, they motivate this proposed classification.
