Reductive symmetry conjecture for recursively composed quasi-means
Reductive symmetry conjecture for recursively composed quasi-means
Let be the two-variable geometric mean, and let a quasi-mean be obtained by recursively composing copies of . A symmetry of such a quasi-mean is an invariance under a permutation of its matrix arguments.
Reductive symmetry conjecture. All the symmetries of a quasi-mean obtained by recursive composition from are reductive symmetries, meaning that each can be formally proved using only the reductive symmetries of the constituent copies of .
This conjecture concerns which permutation symmetries can arise from recursive constructions of matrix geometric means. The source provides no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
