Multiplet count conjecture for Weyl–Heisenberg SICs

Fix dZ>0d\in\mathbb Z_{>0}, d3d\neq3, set Δ=Δd=(d+1)(d3)\Delta=\Delta_d=(d+1)(d-3) and K=\Q(Δ)K=\Q(\sqrt{\Delta}). Let OΔ\mathcal O_\Delta and OK\mathcal O_K denote the quadratic order of discriminant Δ\Delta and the maximal order of KK, respectively. Multiplet Count Conjecture. The number of Galois multiplets of Weyl–Heisenberg SICs in dimension dd equals the number of quadratic orders O\mathcal O' satisfying OΔOOK\mathcal O_\Delta\subseteq\mathcal O'\subseteq\mathcal O_K, equivalently σ0(f)\sigma_0(f) when Δ=f2Δ0\Delta=f^2\Delta_0 with Δ0\Delta_0 fundamental. This predicts the number of Galois multiplets but not their internal geometric class counts; it remains open.
