Completion conjecture for Foulis–Randall products

At least 13 years old · documented by

Let H1,…,HnH_1,\ldots,H_n be contextuality scenarios, let H1⊗…⊗Hn‾\overline{H_1\otimes\ldots\otimes H_n} denote the completion of their nn-fold product scenario, let Hˉi\bar H_i denote the completion of HiH_i, and let max⁡⊗i=1nHi{}^{\max}\otimes_{i=1}^n H_i denote the maximal tensor product. Completion conjecture. One has

H1⊗…⊗Hn‾=max⁡⊗i=1nHˉi.\overline{H_1\otimes\ldots\otimes H_n} = {}^{\max}\otimes_{i=1}^n \bar{H}_i.

This conjecture proposes that the completion of the product can be computed directly from the completions of the individual scenarios. It follows a result showing that the relevant Foulis–Randall products are associative up to observational equivalence, but the asserted formula itself is left as a conjecture.
