The conjecture that all state-sum Hamiltonian schemas are topological
The conjecture that all state-sum Hamiltonian schemas are topological
A state-sum Hamiltonian schema is obtained from a topological state-sum construction: for a cellulation of a space manifold , the state-sum on defines an idempotent map , and the Hilbert space is . The associated local Hamiltonian terms impose admissibility and zero-flux conditions. The conjecture. All state-sum Hamiltonian schemas are topological. If true, every Hamiltonian schema arising from such a state-sum construction would satisfy the defining topological invariance properties. The supplied context explains the construction of the ground subspace and local terms but gives no resolution of this claim.
