Existence conjecture for towers of algebras with prescribed Cartan invariants

Let (An)n0(A_n)_{n\geq 0} be a tower of algebras, and let C(n)C^{(n)} denote the prescribed matrices associated with the tower's Cartan invariants. Existence conjecture. There exists a tower of algebras (An)(A_n) such that the C(n)C^{(n)} are their matrices of Cartan invariants. In particular, one should have dimAn=n!\dim A_n=n!. The conjecture is motivated by computations of the corresponding quivers and relations for n6n\leq 6, whose apparent regularity suggests an underlying tower, although the algebras are not yet understood sufficiently well to construct them for arbitrary nn.
