Order-to-multiplet conjecture for Weyl–Heisenberg SICs

Fix a positive integer d3d\neq 3, let Δd=(d+1)(d3)\Delta_d=(d+1)(d-3), and write Δd=f2Δ0\Delta_d=f^2\Delta_0, where Δ0=disc(OKd)\Delta_0=\operatorname{disc}(\mathcal O_{K_d}) and Kd=\Q(Δd)K_d=\Q(\sqrt{\Delta_d}). Let O\mathcal O' range over the intermediate quadratic orders, indexed by positive divisors ff' of ff, and let M(f)\mathcal M(f') denote a Galois multiplet of Weyl–Heisenberg line-SICs. Order-to-Multiplet Conjecture. There is a bijection between the positive divisors ff' of ff and the Galois multiplets, such that the multiplet indexed by ff' contains Cl(O(f)2Δ0)|\operatorname{Cl}(\mathcal O_{(f')^2\Delta_0})| geometric equivalence classes, and f1f2f_1\mid f_2 implies \fieldvecS1\fieldvecS2\fieldvec{S_1}\subseteq\fieldvec{S_2} for [Si]M(fi)[S_i]\in\mathcal M(f_i). This predicts a precise organization of SIC multiplets by quadratic orders; the stronger version additionally imposes compatibility for the associated triple-product and projection fields.
