Character-table characterization of totally extremal ideal Perron similarities
Character-table characterization of totally extremal ideal Perron similarities
A normalized ideal Perron similarity is a similarity matrix with the normalization and ideal Perron properties defined in the surrounding paper. It is totally extremal when every entry associated with its Perron-similarity polytope is an extremal point.
Character-table conjecture. If is a normalized ideal Perron similarity and is totally extremal, then is the character table of a finite Abelian group.
This proposes that total extremality characterizes character tables of finite Abelian groups among normalized ideal Perron similarities. The source presents it as a question for further inquiry; no resolution is supplied here.
