Conjecture on arguments of complex Markov triples
Conjecture on arguments of complex Markov triples
Let be an initial seed triple of roots of unity, and let be the minimal positive integer such that for each . A triple of rational numbers whose entries sum to is called an admissible argument triple when it is realized as the arguments of a complex Markov triple. Conjecture on complex Markov arguments. Every triple that sums to is achieved as the argument of a complex Markov triple. Furthermore, if are irrational angles, then the image of the arguments of Markov triples is dense in the circle. This concerns the distribution of arguments in the complex Markov-number construction; the supplied text attributes the conjecture to GKW but gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
