Rational defect conjecture for Butson matrices
Rational defect conjecture for Butson matrices
Let be a complex Hadamard matrix. Its defect is , and its rational defect is
where is the enveloping tangent space at . A matrix is a Butson matrix if all its entries are roots of unity of a common finite order.
Rational defect conjecture. For the Butson matrices we have .
The rational defect measures the part of the enveloping tangent space defined over , while the defect measures its full dimension. The statement proposes that these dimensions coincide for Butson matrices; the source gives no resolution.
