Non-existence of primitive formally dual subsets of size 8 in the group
Non-existence of primitive formally dual subsets of size 8 in the group
Let and let a subset be primitive if it is not contained in a proper coset of a subgroup of and generates . A subset is formally dual if there is a pairing for which its character-sum identities satisfy the formal duality condition. Non-existence conjecture. There is no primitive formally dual subset with
The graph search algorithm terminated without finding such a subset, but the authors present the computational non-existence result as a conjecture because they do not provide a readily checkable certificate; a more sophisticated proof remains to be found.
