The type-a Galois-group conjecture for SIC fiducials

Let Π\Pi be a strongly-centred type-aa fiducial, let S(Π)S(\Pi) be its symmetry group, and let FS(Π)F\in S(\Pi) be such that UFU_F is a canonical order 33 unitary. Let dd' be the relevant modulus, and choose a matrix GG satisfying

F=I+3G.F=I+3G.

Define

A={rI+sG:r,sZ/dZ and rI+sGGL(2,Z/dZ)}.\mathcal{A}=\{rI+sG:r,s\in\mathbb{Z}/d'\mathbb{Z}\text{ and }rI+sG\in\operatorname{GL}(2,\mathbb{Z}/d'\mathbb{Z})\}.

Type-a Galois-group conjecture.

Gal(E1/E0)A/S(Π).\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{E}_1/\mathbb{E}_0)\cong\mathcal{A}/S(\Pi).

This is identified in the source as a weaker conjecture proposed previously for strongly-centred type-aa fiducials; the stronger maximal-Abelian-subgroup formulation is reported to hold in all known exact cases.
