Appleby's conjecture on algebraic-unit normalized overlaps

From papers

Let a SIC-POVM in Cd\mathbb{C}^d have normalized overlaps eiθjle^{i\theta_{jl}}, where the angles θjl\theta_{jl} are defined by the normalized inner products of its fiducial vectors. An algebraic unit is an algebraic integer whose inverse is also an algebraic integer. Appleby's conjecture. The normalized overlaps eiθjle^{i\theta_{jl}} are algebraic units. This conjecture concerns the arithmetic structure of SIC-POVMs and is motivated by observed connections with algebraic number theory; its general status is not resolved in the supplied source.
