Limit-point spectrum conjecture for maximal cliques in d-Paley graphs
Fix an integer . For each odd prime power q\equiv1{\ifmmode\text{\rm\ (mod~d)}\else\discretionary{}{}{\text{ }}\rm(mod~d)\fi}, let be the cardinality of a maximal clique in the -Paley graph , and consider the sequences . Write for the product of the distinct prime divisors of . Limit-point spectrum conjecture. The set of limit points of all such sequences is
Theorem~ establishes that every listed value occurs as a limit point; the conjectural part is that no other limit points occur. This is intended as a converse to the construction of large maximal cliques.
