Uniqueness conjecture for Markov-number sum-of-squares representations
Uniqueness conjecture for Markov-number sum-of-squares representations
Let be a Markov number, meaning an integer belonging to a triple of positive integers satisfying
For coprime positive integers , the palindromification of the snake graph is the snake graph associated with the continued fraction obtained by mirroring the continued-fraction data for . Uniqueness conjecture. For every Markov number , there exist unique positive integers with such that
and the palindromification of is a Markov snake graph.
The preceding corollary establishes existence, while uniqueness is conjectured; the source gives no resolution.
