The converse chordality conjecture for positive definite function extensions
The converse chordality conjecture for positive definite function extensions
Let be a group, let , and let be the associated graph. A function is positive definite if its corresponding kernels satisfy the positive-definiteness condition used for operator-valued functions.
Converse chordality conjecture. For every such that is not chordal, there exists a positive definite function
which does admit a positive definite extension to .
This conjecture proposes the reciprocal of the paper's extension theorem: nonchordality should guarantee the existence of a positive definite function on that extends positively to the whole group. The supplied text gives no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
