Cassels–Swinnerton-Dyer's conjecture on periodic multidimensional continued fractions
Cassels–Swinnerton-Dyer's conjecture on periodic multidimensional continued fractions
Let and let be an irrational full-rank lattice in . Let be one of the Klein polyhedra of . The facets and edge stars of have determinants as defined in the source, and -periodicity refers to periodicity of the boundary's combinatorial structure together with these determinants.
Cassels–Swinnerton-Dyer's conjecture. The following are equivalent:
- The facets and the edge stars of the vertices of have bounded determinants, bounded by a common constant.
- The combinatorial structure of the boundary of , equipped with the determinants of facets and edge stars of vertices, is -periodic.
This is presented as a reformulation of the positive-norm-minimum conjecture: bounded multidimensional analogues of partial quotients should imply periodicity of the associated multidimensional continued fraction. The supplied status is unknown, so the database records it as open.
