A counterexample to a conjecture on simultaneous Waring identifiability

Algebraic Geometry 2023-04-07 v1

Abstract

The new identifiable case appeared in \cite{AGMO}, together with the analysis on simultaneous identifiability of pairs of ternary forms recently developed in \cite{BG}, suggested the following conjecture towards a complete classification of all simultaneous Waring identifiable cases: for any d2 d \geq 2 , the general polynomial vectors consisting of d1 d-1 ternary forms of degree d d and a ternary form of degree d+1 d+1 , with rank d2+d+22 \frac{d^2+d+2}{2} , are identifiable over C \mathbf{C} . In this paper, by means of a computer-aided procedure inspired to the one described in \cite{AGMO}, we obtain that the case d=4 d = 4 contradicts the previous conjecture, admitting at least 36 36 complex simultaneous Waring decompositions (of length 11 11 ) instead of 1 1 .
