The common-unitary normal-form conjecture for GLT algebras

About 8 years old · traced to

Let E\mathscr E be the space of matrix sequences, let MD\mathscr M_D be the measurable complex-valued functions on DD modulo almost-everywhere equality, and let CD\mathfrak C_D denote the class of algebras of matrix sequences with symbols in MD\mathscr M_D. Suppose that an algebra A⊆CD\mathfrak A\subseteq\mathfrak C_D is induced by a subalgebra A⊆E\mathscr A\subseteq\mathscr E and an algebra homomorphism s:A→MDs:\mathscr A\to\mathscr M_D. Let SU\mathscr S_U denote the class of sequences admitting the corresponding normal form through a unitary sequence {Un}n\{U_n\}_n.

Common-unitary normal-form conjecture. Any algebra A⊆CD\mathfrak A\subseteq\mathfrak C_D induced by such A\mathscr A and ss admits a unitary sequence {Un}n\{U_n\}_n such that A⊆SU\mathscr A\subseteq\mathscr S_U. Equivalently, every sequence in the algebra admits a normal form through the same unitary base change.

The claim asks for simultaneous normal forms for all sequences in an algebra, extending the normal-form result for GLT sequences. No proof or resolution is supplied in the paper.
