Weyl–Heisenberg algebraicity conjecture

Let d1d\geq1, d3d\neq3, and let a Weyl–Heisenberg line-SIC consist of projective-algebraic lines in \Cd\C^d when its vectors can be represented by algebraic coordinates. Weyl–Heisenberg Algebraicity Conjecture. Every Weyl–Heisenberg SIC in dimension dd is projective-algebraic. This is equivalent in the source to finiteness of the real projective algebraic variety of Weyl–Heisenberg SICs for all d3d\neq3; it remains open in general.
