The rational orthogonal realization conjecture for rational zero-patterns
The rational orthogonal realization conjecture for rational zero-patterns
Let be an matrix over a field. Its zero-pattern (or support) is the -matrix defined by
Let denote the real orthogonal matrices, and let denote the orthogonal matrices with rational entries. The rational orthogonal realization conjecture. For any there exists such that .
This is the rational analogue of the preceding unitary-versus-real zero-pattern conjecture: it asks whether every zero-pattern realized by a real orthogonal matrix is also realized by a rational orthogonal matrix. The abstract records verification of this claim for matrix size , while no general resolution is supplied.
