The real quadratic ray class field conjecture for SICs in every dimension

About 10 years old · traced to

Let d≥4d\ge 4 be a dimension, and let R\mathfrak{R} denote the real quadratic ray class field associated with the dimension. For a SIC orbit EE in Cd\mathbb{C}^d, let Q(E)\mathbb{Q}(E) be the smallest subfield of C\mathbb{C} containing the projective fields of definition of all its lines.

Real quadratic ray class field conjecture. The statement that, for the dimensions listed in Proposition 1, there is a SIC orbit EE with Q(E)=R\mathbb{Q}(E)=\mathfrak{R}, while every other known orbit has Q(E)/Q\mathbb{Q}(E)/\mathbb{Q} a finite Galois extension containing R\mathfrak{R}, holds for every dimension d≥4d\ge 4.

This conjecture extends the observed ray-class-field pattern from the explicitly known dimensions to all dimensions at least four. Its status is unresolved in the supplied source.
