Real equivariant almost-commuting sphere matrices conjecture
Real equivariant almost-commuting sphere matrices conjecture
Let , and be matrices in satisfying
and
Real equivariant almost-commuting sphere matrices conjecture. For every there is a , independent of , such that there is a triple of commuting Hermitian matrices satisfying
and
and lying within of the original triple:
This asserts stable approximation of the real-symmetry-constrained approximate sphere relations by exactly commuting matrices. It is motivated by the analogous result for almost commuting real orthogonal matrices and would yield the corresponding classification result for the rotation-equivariant two-sphere setting if true.
