Carousel homomorphism conjecture for odd carousel tournaments

At least 10 years old · documented by

Let R2n+1R_{2n+1} be the odd carousel tournament and let ϕR\phi_R be the carousel homomorphism. Let Hom⁡+(A0,R)\operatorname{Hom}^+({\mathcal{A}}^0,\mathbb{R}) denote the positive homomorphisms of the tournament algebra.

Carousel homomorphism conjecture. For every n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, the carousel homomorphism maximizes the density of R2n+1R_{2n+1}:

max⁡{ϕ(R2n+1):ϕ∈Hom⁡+(A0,R)}=ϕR(R2n+1).\max\{\phi(R_{2n+1}):\phi\in\operatorname{Hom}^+({\mathcal{A}}^0,\mathbb{R})\}=\phi_R(R_{2n+1}).

The conjecture is motivated by the structural similarity between odd carousel tournaments and R4R_4; its validity for all nn remains open.
