Bernoulli-moment characterization conjecture for distinguished matrices
Bernoulli-moment characterization conjecture for distinguished matrices
Fix . Let be the set of upper triangular real matrices with diagonal entries for which the eigenvalues of lie on the unit circle, and let be the corresponding integral unipotent triangular matrices. For a matrix , suppose the Cecotti–Vafa recipe supplies an ordered spectrum , and let denote its Bernoulli moments.
Bernoulli-moment characterization conjecture. There is a family of functions such that a matrix is a distinguished matrix of a singularity if and only if its Coxeter–Dynkin diagram is connected and, for every ,
The conjecture is intended to characterize distinguished matrices through the full sequence of Bernoulli-moment inequalities. The paper presents it as part of a tower of conjectures and does not establish the required bounds or the converse characterization in the indefinite cases.
