Closed-boundary rotor-model groundstate sum conjecture
Closed-boundary rotor-model groundstate sum conjecture
For the rotor model with closed boundary conditions, let be its groundstate wavefunction and let denote the sum of its elements. For odd size , normalize the smallest element to . For even size , normalize the wavefunction to the smallest integer such that all elements are integers. Closed-boundary rotor-model conjecture. For odd sizes, all elements are integers and
For even sizes,

and the listed values are for . This conjecture concerns integer groundstate components and their combinatorial sums; it was checked up to , but no proof is supplied.
