The permutation reconstruction conjecture for simple eigenvectors of hypomorphic matrices
Let and be two hypomorphic matrices, meaning that for a hypomorphism as in the surrounding reconstruction setting. Let be a simple eigenvalue of , and write and for the corresponding one-dimensional eigenspaces. Permutation reconstruction conjecture. There exists a permutation matrix such that
The claim proposes that every simple eigenspace is reconstructible up to a permutation of coordinates. The supplied context establishes related reconstruction results for simple eigenvalues whose eigenspaces are not orthogonal to the all-ones vector, but does not resolve this full assertion for arbitrary simple eigenvalues.
