Existence of an -local Hamiltonian for -regular spin chains
Let an -regular spin chain be a spin chain with the regularity property specified in the source, and call a Hamiltonian -local when it has interactions only between neighbours separated by at most sites.
Existence conjecture. For any -regular spin chain there always exists a Hamiltonian which is -local.
This asserts that the regularity condition is sufficient to construct a Hamiltonian with interaction range bounded by . The supplied text gives no resolution status or further evidence, so the conjecture remains open.
