The odd-dimensional twin conjecture for integral vectors
The odd-dimensional twin conjecture for integral vectors
Let be an odd integer. An integral vector is odd if every component is odd; a vector is non-odd if it is not odd. Two vectors are twins when they are orthogonal and have the same norm.
Odd-dimensional twin conjecture. Suppose that the dimension is odd. Then every non-odd vector has a twin.
Odd vectors cannot have twins in odd dimensions by reducing their components modulo , so the conjecture identifies the non-odd vectors as the cases where a twin should always exist. It concerns the construction and extension of orthogonal integral vectors in higher-dimensional spaces.
