Finite-family Hermite matrix conjecture for cubic irrational pairs
Finite-family Hermite matrix conjecture for cubic irrational pairs
Let be the domain of pairs of real numbers used by the multidimensional continued fraction algorithms, and let a finite family of such algorithms determine a corresponding Hermite matrix whose rows are the associated sequences of non-negative integers. A pair is in the same cubic number field when and belong to a common cubic number field.
Finite-family Hermite matrix conjecture. There is a family of multidimensional continued fractions spanned by finitely many multidimensional continued fraction algorithms such that
if and only if some row of the corresponding Hermite matrix is eventually periodic.
This is presented as a reformulation of a conjecture attributed to Karpenkov and as a proposed best-possible form of the Hermite problem: periodicity in a suitable finite family of algorithms should characterize pairs of reals lying in the same cubic number field. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
