Conjectured maximizing points for M(n,1)

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let M(n,1)M(n,1) denote the maximum value of the regulator-related function for r2=1r_2=1, and let C(1)C(1) be the corresponding threshold. Maximizer conjecture for r2=1r_2=1. One has C(1)=4C(1)=4, and for every n≥C(1)n\geq C(1), after a suitable change of variables, the maximum value M(n,1)M(n,1) is attained at

(x1,…,xn−3,xn−2,g)=(−1,0,−1,0,…,−1,0)(x_1,\ldots,x_{n-3},x_{n-2},g)=(-1,0,-1,0,\ldots,-1,0)

for even nn, and at

(x1,…,xn−3,xn−2,g)=(−17,−1,−17,−1,…,−17,−1,1,127)(x_1,\ldots,x_{n-3},x_{n-2},g)=\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}},-1,-\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}},-1,\ldots,-\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}},-1,1,\frac{1}{2\sqrt{7}}\right)

for odd nn. This predicts the maximizing configurations in the r2=1r_2=1 case; the source gives no proof or resolution.
