Cylindrical-strip Beraha-zero pattern conjecture
Cylindrical-strip Beraha-zero pattern conjecture
Let be the width of a triangular-lattice strip with cylindrical boundary conditions, let denote the Beraha numbers, and let be the amplitude matrix. Cylindrical-strip Beraha-zero pattern conjecture. The Beraha numbers where vanishes are given by the union of the sets
The upper limit on is the integer part of . This conjecture is based on systematic checks through and the observed cylindrical-boundary examples; unlike the free and zig-zag cases, the cylindrical data exhibit additional zeros beyond , and the proposed general pattern remains open.
