The harmonic-oscillator lower-bound and equality conjecture for maximal multiplicities
The harmonic-oscillator lower-bound and equality conjecture for maximal multiplicities
For , let be the isotropic harmonic-oscillator array, let denote its -th eigenvalue, and let denote the multiplicity of the -th eigenvalue of an admissible array . Write for the supremum of these multiplicities over the admissible arrays. Harmonic-oscillator maximality conjecture. For every and ,
with equality for those such that . The conjecture proposes the harmonic oscillator as a maximizer, at least at the indicated non-repeated eigenvalue positions. The source later states that the corresponding maximality claim is disproved by the computation , so this conjecture is refuted.
