Full holonomy conjecture for higher-dimensional Laplacian dynamics

Let P(t)P(t) be the state of Laplacian dynamics on nn vertices, let D(P(0))D(P(0)) denote its degree matrix, and let X(t)X(t) solve

X˙=L(P)X.\dot{X}=-L(P)X.

For a base point determined by the dynamics, write Holp0\operatorname{Hol}_p^0 for the restricted holonomy group.

Full holonomy conjecture. For d3d\geq 3, n>dn>d, and initial conditions with D(P(0))D(P(0)) not scalar (non-regular graph), the restricted holonomy group of Laplacian dynamics is

Holp0=SO(d).\operatorname{Hol}_p^0=\mathrm{SO}(d).

The preceding finite-time rank criterion proves full holonomy when sufficiently many curvature-generated skew directions are linearly independent. Establishing that this rank condition holds generically for all d3d\geq 3 would require a transversality argument controlling symmetry strata, so the fully generic statement remains conjectural.
