Rationally independent edge-length hot-spots conjecture

At least 5 years old · documented by

Let n≥2n\geq 2. A metric graph ammaamma is said to have pairwise rationally independent edge lengths when no nontrivial rational relation holds among its edge lengths. Let MM be the set of global minima and maxima of second eigenfunctions on ammaamma.

Rationally independent edge-length conjecture. There exists a graph γ\gamma whose edge lengths are pairwise rationally independent and for which ∣M∣=3|M|=3; more generally, for every prescribed n≥2n\geq 2, there exists such a graph with ∣M∣=n|M|=n.

This conjecture asserts that multiple hot spots can occur without symmetry or commensurability of edge lengths. The source gives no resolution status.
