Lin's symmetry-preserving almost-commuting matrices conjecture
Lin's symmetry-preserving almost-commuting matrices conjecture
Let and be self-adjoint matrices in a matrix algebra, and suppose that belongs to an Altland–Zirnbauer symmetry class. Lin's theorem states that sufficiently almost-commuting and can be approximated by commuting self-adjoint matrices and . Lin's symmetry-preserving conjecture. Lin's theorem should remain true when belongs to any Altland–Zirnbauer symmetry class, with the approximating pair required to belong to the same symmetry class. The claim asks whether Lin's approximation can preserve the imposed time-reversal, particle-hole, or chiral symmetry; the supplied text gives no resolution.
