Peirce-spectrum conjecture for complex algebras of odd dihedral quandles

Let RnR_n be a dihedral quandle of odd order nn, let C[Rn]\mathbb{C}[R_n] be its complex quandle algebra, and let σ(C[Rn])\sigma(\mathbb{C}[R_n]) denote its Peirce spectrum. Peirce-spectrum conjecture. The Peirce spectrum of the complex quandle algebra of a dihedral quandle of odd order is

σ(C[Rn])={0,1,1}.\sigma(\mathbb{C}[R_n])=\{0,1,-1\}.

For the examples discussed in the paper, namely R3R_3, R5R_5, R7R_7, and R9R_9, the computed Peirce spectra have this form; the assertion for every odd-order dihedral quandle remains open.
