Stark phase unit conjecture for SIC fiducials

Let d=n2+3=pd=n^2+3=p be a prime in the specified sequence, let KK be the real quadratic field used in the construction, and let eiϑje^{i\vartheta_j} be the phases in the almost-flat fiducial formula. Stark phase unit conjecture. The numbers eiϑje^{i\vartheta_j} are Galois conjugates of Stark units for one of the two small ray class fields, and are therefore called Stark phase units. This hypothesis is the number-theoretic ingredient proposed to construct the fiducial vector from Stark units; the source treats it as conjectural.
