The irrational-angle counterexample conjecture for weak rotational symmetry

From papers

Let KK be the compact group acting by conjugation, let θ0\theta_0 be the corresponding group element, and let AA be a matrix satisfying the discrete rotational-symmetry relation

eikφ0A=eΩ0kAeΩ0k\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}k\varphi_0}A=\mathrm{e}^{\Omega_0 k}A\mathrm{e}^{-\Omega_0 k}

for all kZk\in\mathbb{Z} and some Ω0k\Omega_0\in\mathfrak{k}. A counterexample means that this relation holds while the continuous relation fails for some real tt.

Irrational-angle counterexample conjecture. It is impossible to find a counterexample satisfying φ02πQ\varphi_0\notin 2\pi\mathbb{Q}.

The conjecture concerns the passage from discrete to continuous rotational symmetry and would require deeper results on the structure of the torus algebra and its root-space decomposition of KK.
